Jaguar and Campervan for Children in Need

Adam Tomlinson, from Radio York's breakfast show, took on the challenge of circumnavigating Yorkshire in '80 Ways' - a new take on the Jules Verne classic. For details have a look at Radio York's website

I got involved in the last leg of the Journey, collecting Adam from Malton Station and taking him to York Station. Adam wanted two different modes of classic transport, so what better than a beautiful Jaguar MkII and a classic VW campervan.

At Malton Station we met up with the crew. There was Anna who was coordinating everyone; Dougie, who is usually reporting but  took a back seat for this and looked after all the technical stuff; and of course Adam.

Having met Dougie previously, we knew he loved his classic cars, and it transpired that Adam did as well. We did the run to York in two legs with Adam taking a turn in each vehicle. As a treat for all his hard work I let Adam drive the MkII Jaguar. I think it is safe to say that he enjoyed it immensely. Unfortunately, due to insurance restrictions, I couldn't let him drive the camper as well.

It was an enjoyable morning and a pleasure to be able to help Adam with his fund raising in some small way.
