Abnormal load

[Jurek]

Not sure whether this should be in here or in 'On the Road', and I know it's blatantly London-centric, but TfL advise me of this:

South London area – On Sunday, from 08:00 until 12:00, an abnormal load will travel under police escort from the M23, via the A23 and the A205 South Circular Road to the Herne Hill area. During this time roads in the vicinity may be busy.

Anyone know what it might be?
CAIK?

You find out what the load was Jurek?

It's probably a wind turbine blade.

I think it was a replacement railway bridge in the North Dulwich area on the suburban line from London Bridge - They've replaced several on the suburban line from London Bridge since the beginning of this year.

Shame - as it would've doubtless included some seriously heavy duty crane action - of which, keen students will remember, I am a fan.

Well if so then look up the Balder. Offshore 10k crane barge. Impressive to say the least. https://hmc.heerema.com/content/fleet/

Saw one of those being driven at great speed up North, with a police escort. All the opposing traffic corralled up as it zoomed past.

Your linky no worky PH, but I've found pics of Balder elsewhere.
It's a bit of a beast......

[Poly Hive]

Odd as it works here and yes a serious beast, driven by the cream of the worlds crane drivers.

Too complex for me. I click on it and it works. My own mail from my website has a security issue I am told everytime I log in but nothing on the Hereama site so not a clue.

That matches my experience - works at home, but at worky, no worky.

[Poly Hive]

But did you like the site?

Now I'm at home holding the Nexus,yes,it has some serious hardware on there.  The site refuses to zoom on this device,but I imagine most of their serious business enquiries don't come from erstwhile cyclists sat on the sofa eating crumpets and getting butter on the tablet screen, though.
