East Coast Truckers Children's Convoy

Usually the Sunday prior to the August Bank Holiday regularly sees the East Coast Truckers Children's Convoy when drivers take disabled and disadvantaged children in their cabs for a trip to Pleasurewood Hills. The public line the route to clap and wave as it as passes through Norwich, Acle, Great Yarmouth and Gorleston before arriving at the Suffolk attraction around midday.



There must have been some one hundred HGVs in the convoy this year and I caught up with it at Church Road in Gorleston hoping to get a photo of the support coaches provided by Sanders Coaches.



The two involved were Jonckheere bodied Volvo B13RT BT14 DLX and Volvo B8R/ Plaxton Panther OC21 SAN. The former was the only one in the outward procession passing through Gorleston but both took part in the return trip.
