Long lifting straps on the bottom of the board, that extend up into the loft, lifting from the loft with someone stabilising the bottom. You could rig steps to rest the board on as you lift, so it's not all in a oner.

I was thinking about something along these lines - but worried about scuffing the surface too much.
My thinking at the moment:
There are two beams that run parallel with the door frame on either side of the hatch. i.e. facing the loft ladder there is a beam in front of and behind the hatch as you come up through it. They're about 20 feet apart. I'm debating ratcheting something tight AF between the two and hoping the stress doesn't collapse my roof. Then lowering [a] pulley/s above the hatch (my recollection of primary school physics meaning something like - the more pulleys / the less effort).
My other options:
Cut the fucker into tiny pieces and reassemble with PVA.
Slide it back downstairs and make a killer dining table / work bench for kiddo to do his home schooling / brain himself on the corner of.
CYOA
Anyone know anything about pulleys?
