There's no real easy method...But it needn't be as bad as all that either

Personally, I scratch it up so moisture can get behind (buy a triangluar thing from B&Q or you can do it using the edge of your scraper), steamer it from middle down, then go up to the top and down (top section often comes off easy after the accumulated steam). I find scraping downwards easier, you seem to get behind better.

A soaking wouldn't hurt either, but do it after you've scratched the stuff up so the moisture can get behind.

And I use a sharp scraper to remove

There's no quick and easy solution, the exercise will do you good

You'll hopefully find big strips come off in one go

Thanks for that, just found some stuff on the net called wallwik. Looks like you score the walls and place some large sheets over the woodchip and keep wetting the sheets. Think i might give that a go as it has a money back guarantee.
