Benidorm Or Bust In A Banger

Benidorm Or Bust In A Banger

Sherwood Truck and Van were the proud sponsors of Trevor Hill and his Stepdad, Stuart Johnson, when they set out to reach Benidorm in their 20-year-old banger, in this year's Benidorm Or Bust mission.

Trevor and Stuart, dressed as Robin Hood and Friar Tuck, the 'Merry Men', embarked on the 1,400-mile journey, with their car looking like a horse and cart, to raise funds for Sheffield Northern General Hospital, following the care given to Trevor's Mum, who was Stuart's Wife, who sadly died of cancer last year, just 18 months after being diagnosed with bladder cancer.

Trevor commented 'they looked after her so well, she didn't want for anything. They provided my stepdad, Stuart, with a bed and food, so he could sleep beside her and spend all day with her. Nothing was an effort for them. To say thank you, both of us are taking part in this year's Benidorm or Bust Challenge. I work for Sherwood Truck and Van, so we have adopted a Robin Hood theme and are going as Sherwood's Merry Men. I will be dressed as Robin Hood, complete with green tights and size 11 walking boots.'

A total of 190 vehicles took part in the event, leaving from Dover, through Calais and down to Rouen, on day one. Day two was a drive to Bordeaux, then to Zaragoza on the following day. On the final day, the team arrived in Benidorm for a prize giving celebration.
