Dear Chief Constable
E2E Challenge
Between the 1/29 June 2008 I am attempting to drive an Alber Adventure Power Wheelchair from Lands End to John O’Groats in aid of the charity, Kenya Acorn Project, I wish to submit the following information. .
The route with dates is enclosed as Appendix a. Appendix b is a list of campsites I proposed to stay at. I shall try and stay off all major roads where possible. Scotland camp sites are not yet booked.
Personal: A vehicle, with a driver and a carer, will follow me at a suitable distance. I also hope to have, where possible, a cyclist beside, behind me.
The vehicle I am using is a red Citroen Relay Van, Reg. W774 MBR. The van will be equipped with flashing orange warning light on the roof, with highly visible words indicating “wheelchair ahead”, or other suitable wording. I will try to avoid the vehicle moving slowly behind me. The vehicle, where possible, will go on to the next suitable stopping place. I am well aware that I must try to avoid stopping traffic flow or put other road users in danger.
The wheelchair I shall be using will have a flashing orange light at the rear and an orange warning flag will be attached. . The average speed of the wheelchair will be 6 mph. I will also wear full protective gear and a highly visible jacket.
Cyclist will be behind me, or if traffic allows, be at the aside of me. They to will be wearing safety equipment, including jacket. Also attached to the cycle will be an orange flag to aid visibility.
Warning to lorries. I shall be at all times in contact with Carole Fraser Administrator Traffic & ADR Freight Transport Association, who in turn, will warn the transport on their net work, of my presence in a given area. I am also going to be in touch with local radio stations asking them to tell their listeners of my presents.
If you need more information, please contact me. Details below. We will remind you closer to the date of our arrival in your area.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
Can you please email me or telephone to confirm you have received this document?
