In one of my old jobs we used to "rent" a driver and 18t wagon. He cost around £30 an hour plus fuel (this was a permanent contract so was cheap...) Speaking to him about this he reckons that an average tipper willmove around 20tons of soil per load. I also reckon that Harper Adams has about 1000tons of dirt in it? (I got a ton of top soil for my garden and it went amazingly not very far)
If you've got to supply and move the dirt to put into the venue (and excavators to remove it again) then there is no-way that this is comercially viable.
