Default How to move a Bay Tree?

Hi,

We've just discovered that we shall at last be moving from SW England to NE Scotland before Christmas.

I've read that more and more people move plants as well as their garden stuff. I have a Bay tree that's about 10 foot tall with a trunk measuring almost 2 inches square. It was a £3.99 specimen from B & Q about 4 years ago. It stands in the middle of my herb bed. I would love to take it up and re-plant it but not sure a, quite how and b, whether it would either pretty much definitely die in transit or die from the cold up there. We shouldn't be near the coast. Am I mad??? Has anyone else done this?

Thanks Beth
