Thousands of driving instructors and their students are entering the final stages of the Big Learner Relay this week, raising thousands of pounds for Children in Need.
The Big Learner Relay has been operating across the country since 2014.
Covering a grand total of over 3,000 miles, the relay puts learner driver skills to the test in a relaxed atmosphere.
The finale takes place on Friday, 15th November, where learners will be stopping in front of the National Space Centre in Leicester – an ode to the 50th anniversary of the moon landings.
Louise Walsh, a driving instructor from Hampshire, has been joining all of the convoys over the few weeks.
As a learner driver myself, I took the opportunity to speak with Louise about what inspired her to launch the project, as we took on the journey from Birkenhead to Anfield.
