33rd East Coast Truckers Convoy

This morning was disturbed by the noise of the East Coast Truckers sounding their horns whilst passing through the town on their way to Pleasurewood Hills. The event is arranged by the Truckers' charity raising monies for the many disadvantaged children in East Anglia. Again some 80 trucks took part in the run from Norwich's County Hall.

Sanders' Volvo 3990ME towards the end of the procession passing St Andrews Church in Gorleston
This year Sanders Coaches provided the support vehicles with three coaches involved. One of them, Plaxton Paragon bodied  Volvo B12M 3990ME, appeared towards the procession whilst the others continued direct to Pleasurewood Hills. They were Jonckheere bodied Volvo B12BT OGR647 and VDL/Berkhof YJ12CHK.

I understand from social media that it would be the last time that the VDL would be operating for Sanders Coaches as it was reported to have been sold.
