Diesel near Dudley

[BGA]

If anyone is in the Dudley area and in need of a top up it might be worth a side trip down to Halesowen I got diesel for 47p/Ltr you chose your split declaration.

I take it you mean Hawne Basin. Except you've got to go through Gosty Tunnel. Not so easy if you have boxes on your roof.

I picked up some diesel at Wheaton Aston today at 50p per litre - pre tax.

[Victor Vectis]

Hawne Basin is cheaper.

 

Reward for braving Count Dracula in the tunnel perhaps?

 

My experience is that Wheaton Aston expects you to declare a %age non domestic.

 

ETA And before anyone asks, I'm taking the 5th on this!

I have a high cabin top and BIG roof boxes, and I still fit down there, just. Some of the Hawne Basin moorers were flabbergasted at how I could get through. My answer - slowly!

Met several Hawne Basin moored at the Bonfire Rally last year, some said no problem, others said we'd never get through. It's a pity there isn't a height gauge before you're committed.

 

We'll have to compare heights when next in Birmingham in November as Hawne is a considerable saving over Sherborne or Caggys.

Actually, whilst height is restricted, I think it's the tumblehome that's the biggest issue making contact between the rails and tunnel shoulders a definite possibility.

That isn't a problem with us. Have been through but that was before I fitted the boxes. As to height, other than the centre section I had to crouch a bit but then I do stand in a box.

No problem. I'm moored in Hockley Port now, where we have a delightful visitor mooring.

I thought the 5th was along the lines of "I will not answer that question on the grounds that I may incriminate myself"
