60 litre blue barrels for sale. Waterproof, with sealing lid and large open top for entry. These have only had bagged confectionery products in them so they are clean and odour free ~ not like the ones that have been used for printers ink etc!

John Fenna also has a book on how to make canoe accessories that includes a carry harness for these barrels.....
£15.00 each plus carriage. Courier delivery is £8.20 for one or two of these barrels to any of the mainland postcodes. If that is not you, PM me and I will get a cost for you. Paypal is fine if that helps.
Thanks for looking.
Regards
Andy

I used to use these as washing machines in Ploce Dockyard Camp, Croatia in '95. PJMCBear may remember seeing a load of us rolling them along the road on their sides, they were half filled with water and washing powder with some round stones and dirty kit. Quite effective!

That reminds me, what happened to my jungle trousers?
I do remember someone rolling one too fast and falling flat on their face. Ahh, memories!

I cut a 2nd hand general service bergen about abit to carry a 60l (with additional straps) and also a 30l without extra straps.
And a US Alice pack frame with cargo shelf and cargo straps will carry either.

Thanks i will check if i have room for one, i already use one of these for tanning peltsin but i'd like a clean one.
Any chance you could find out the delivery to Belfast ?
It would be worth checking for 1 and 2 as it might work out better to buy a couple or maybe even more if anybody else here wants in.
Kitetraveller
20-10-2008, 22:41
Belfast is classed as 'across water' and attracts a huge premium, making it about £22 per barrel for carriage (my in laws are in Belfast and I'm never sending them a barrel as a wedding anniversary present again!)
I will get you an exact price, but, if there is enough interest, I could probably ship a dozen on a pallet for a reasonable price; just let me know if there is the interest?

Cheers Andy, i thought it might be expensive but if you find out there may be some interest.
I don't mind accepting them and organising it at this end if anybody wants in.

Hi Rapidboy,
I can get a pallet of up to 12 barrels shipped to you in Belfast for £106 approx. and it would take a couple of days.
As the whole pallet with 12 barrels would only weigh circa 47kg, it should not be too much of a problem to move around (the barrels weigh 3 kg each).
Obviously, the more barrels on the pallet, the more cost effective the shipping charge; with 12 it adds £8.84 to each barrel; just about the same as courier charges here on the mainland!
Please feel free to PM if you want to take this further, and I will leave you to try and find more 'takers' for the barrels ~ might be worth me posting on Song of the Paddle as well, if it would help to make up the numbers?
Hope that helps.
Regards
Andy

That's great Andy, thanks for looking into it.
If anybody in Northern Ireland is interested drop me a PM and we will try and make the numbers up to make this happen.

I'd be up for one if a palet is coming, although £106 for a palet sounds a bit expensive. £50 to £60 is a bit more the norm to bring a palet from the Uk to Northern Ireland.
rapidboy
27-10-2008, 18:53
Last pallet i brought in from England was about 4 weeks ago and it was £60, one before that was about 6 or 7 weeks ago was £95.
Just depends who you use but these barrels are bulky so it's a case of using who ever will move them i suppose.
Anyway that's a couple of places taken, any more takers ?

I would be happy to get a pallet ready for collection if you could arrange a cheaper carrier, just let me know.

My apologies if that sounded like a reflection on you Kitetraveller, it was not ment that way. I understand that you were just quoting whatever price that was given to you by a carrier. Please don't thing that I was "having a go".
Kitetraveller
29-10-2008, 17:06
I had to go back and read your post again to see what I had missed!!
I didn't take it 'the wrong way' at all, and meant that if you did have a cheaper way of shipping, I would be happy to sort the collection bit out at my end. Yes, that was the price from my dispatch department, using the usual transport company.
No offence taken ~ just let Rapidboy know how many barrels you want ;-))

I'd be interested in one, but not at the price to get them across the water. Has anyone seen if ParcelForce can take them (probably individually) - they charge the same to NI as the mainland.
Alternatively, I'm planning to go across to the mainland for a couple of days towards the end of next month. I'll be taking my Jeep, and could probably bring some barrels back with me. I have a friend in Blackpool who'd probably take delivery for me to collect - I use the Fleetwood ferry. Anyone interested?
could do with a few more of these. If thats ok with you, kitetraveller

Any of these left?
Is it food-safe plastc?
Is that correct, postage for 2 @ a total of £8.20?
Would I double that for 4? - ie £16.40?

Hi Stew,
Yes, I still have some.
Yes, it is food safe plastic.
Yes, that is the correct delivery charge for 2, assuming you live on the mainland, and not in one of the exotic/expensive postcodes.
Yes, double for 4.
Please PM to let me know how many and a delivery address.
Regards
Andy
