AndyB Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Couldn't pin point it for you The best thing is to follow a pea lorry They will be coming south on the A12. If you head for the BP garage in Stratford St. Andrew and point in the direction of Ipswich you wont have too long a wait before one comes along. Remember that after about 10.30 they will be heading further south towards Martlesham. Our lorries have split tanks so each will have a number on it and an A and B too.

jdc Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 For some reason, our local Pea Group started using a contractor with Fastracs and 14 tonners - sometimes it's an 80 mile round trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Andy :) Hopefully i'll be able to catch both groups. Which plant are the peas going to? One at Lowestoft? Do you know if anyone else is starting yet? Thank you again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
