Challenge 2011 Steps Up a Gear

Folks, this week sees the next important step to me securing my HGV licence as part of my Charity Challenge 2011.  As you know, the plan is for me to drive an articulated lorry across Europe to Belarus to deliver aid to the victims of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Station accident, which believe it or not happened 25 years ago!

If you're a road user in and around South Essex and East London I would avoid the area all next week as I attempt to get a grip with the challenges of driving lorries...I pity the poor instructor if I'm honest.  I must of course remember to keep a civil tongue in my head when I'm cut up by other road users, or abused by the instructor for making a hash of things...

Needless to say, the team here at Jeremyspake.com will be keeping you up to date with progress and the odd shot of me attempting to pass my test!
