cost of transport

If sole load reckon on 1 pound a mile for a one way trip. If shared load (recommend Eric gillies esp as they have large stabling if needed en route and they travel all sorts) then it might be 50-60p per mile.
 
Have you got the option of hiring a box/trailer and driving it yourself/asking someone very nicely if they'll do it for you? I was looking at transport hire in yorkshire the other week and found a couple of places where you can hire a trailer for £50/day or a 3.5 tonne lorry (can drive it on a car licence, over 25 for this place but I don't know if others are lower or how old you are!) was £100 plus fuel.
 
having done the trip 5 yrs ago and its just over 750 mile round trip I really dont wish to do it again and at present lorry is off the road. It would probably be cheaper by transporter.

what you up to missus ;)
gillies used to always be £250 & vat though I think it will have gone up now :) . We've used Gavin Jamieson last few times and he was reasonably priced
 
I paid the equivalent of £1 per mile with Eric Gillies eighteen months ago, and that was cheaper than the only other company that bothered to get back to me with a quote! Excellent service as well.
