A landlord is taking part in the drive of his life to raise money for an Aids charity.

Alastair Bols, with the help of his wife, Katie, is the new landlord at the Kings Head pub in Gosfield.
He is taking part in the Supercar Run, a five-day treasure hunt race across Europe, in aid of charity.
The landlord has raised £3,000 in sponsorship, which is required to enter the race and will go to the Children With Aids charity.
He said: "I read about supermodel Jodie Kidd doing the event last year. I phoned up the organisers and asked if it was going ahead this year. They said 'yes' and here I am!"
Mr Bols, a self-confessed "petrol head", will be driving a classic AC Cobra - the only one to be taking part.
The cars head for France and at checkpoints the drivers are given cryptic clues as to their next destination.
