Sledging

 Having advised the delivery company of the perils that lurk along our lane and the restricted access via the gateway to the world it did take a while to stop laughing at the unfortunate soul tasked with delivering our new bathroom in a box to HQ as he got stuck and had to be helped out of his predicament by yours truly.

 Unfortunately this led to the potential bathroom being dumped by the gate on a rather large pallet. 

 Fortunately yours truly had a brain wave to use said pallet as a sledge to drag it home. In a sudden flash of unusual common sense yours truly pondered the merit of this after 10 feet and checked to see what potential for damage there was. Lots as the bath was not on the pallet at all merely resting between what were to be the sledge runners and had I gone any further the bottom might not have fallen out of my world but would surely have fallen out of the bath. 

Problem solved and safely at the cottage the bath sat patiently in the yard to be fitted in the requisite room.
