That's a fair piece of kit ALE have on the move - they moved some huge vessels (looked like submarines) to the gas terminal at Theddlethorpe - a small village on the coast down past Donna Nook. As you can imagine the roads are single and narrow track with lots of phone wires- so it was quite an impressive move
thanks for posting

cool! Was lucky to unexpectedly catch them move the old boilers from the closed Berkeley Nuclear power station the other year, think they were about 300tons each and driven right through the town centre! The local primary school kids were even allowed out of school with their teachers to watch.
Anyone know if there is a website anywhere that gives details in advance of these moves, or is it just "right place right time" to catch them??
