The Big Learner Relay 1.1 - The Day That Lou Forgot

A planned break to allow for relocation and impending technical failure (Louise, Amy and crew can plan 100’s of ADIs across the country, but they don’t trust the airlines to plan a flight without delays!)

So to keep you going Chris takes a few moments to reflect on the awesomeness of the BLR Choir and with the support of Karen gives you a low down of how Can’t Stop the Relay was recorded!

The BLR relies on the support of may people in the form of time, money, effort and good will. We wanted to take a little time to hear from those that support from the sidelines and help make it happen.

Louise Walsh and Amy Cullen in a Terry Wogan dedicated ditty. A humorous and true to life tail of a the battle between a driving instructor and their pupil. The final night of the Big Learner Relay was celebrated by driving around Donnington Race Course, and then a truely spotty shindig at the Hilton. An amazing amount raised for Children in Need by Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) across the UK, relaying 3000 miles in 15 days. The 3rd Big Learner Relay did not disappoint and neither did Lou and Amy!

Hear about Day 14 of the journey snuggled up with a warm-ish hot water bottle, the obligatory cup cakes and a moonlit drive. ***OFFICIAL MUST HEAR Donnington information(READ BELOW!)!!!*** And the promise of a mornings post to listen to over breakfast!

Today sees Lou watching fast cars at Brands Hatch, receiving a goody bag and meeting some sober instructors. Tonight we are sung out by Gill and her car-aoke crew!

It's Day 12 and despite being November Louise gets to meet Santa and Rudolph who lend their support! A long but exciting day as the tsunami that is the BLR surges on....

Today sees Lou running late, eating bacon baps and meeting someone who had a close encounter of the creepy crawly kind... Lead Car ADI Digby sings us out with his daughter.

Today Lou has been kept on time due to a very important meeting with the Rickshaw challenge. Find out how she got on by listening in.
