Is anyone within a convenient distance of Keighely in NW yorkshire who might be able to help out?

The mission:
Collect a paid-for ZR backbox from Keighley and get it back to Swindon by passing it to fellow site members to see if this idea could work? No special journeys just conveniently meeting to hand over this small item :)

Might be able to do Nottingham when I visit my Folks, potentially Worksop Sheffield too.

I can't offer petrol monies as I don't know how much it might come out as so will see if this can work based on just helping each other out. I wouldn't mention this if it wasn't something I was prepared to do but I only commute 17 miles so not massively helpful except the road trip to Notts once a month.

Happy to be told this is a stupid idea, especially as it's for a ZS...

It's not a stupid idea at all, it used to work really well on RT.

Just to clear up my offer, I'm actually traveling down on Friday the 18th (date error)
And back from Norwich on the 22nd if the wait isn't a problem I don't mind.

For this weekend only, it only has to make it as far as Manchester, I can't do the two hour round trip for it sadly.
