New Pupil

Booked a new pupil in today in Malvern. Starts at the end of February.
Could be the start of SK covering Malvern as well as Worcester, Pershore and Droitwich !!
Some great improvements have been made to our website so it now works on all mobile devices.
Another Pass last week for Beth so this year is starting very well.
I have a First Aid Course tailored towards the driver training industry booked for February. Hopefully never needed but best to be prepared.
Then it's Freshstart 2013. A series of talks given by leaders in our industry to help to improve my driver training and therefore help my students to Pass First Time.
I try and attend 3-4 training events a Year. They can cost a bit of money but hopefully help me to constantly improve my training skills.

Why not check out our improved site @ www.skdrivingschool.co.uk

Half Marathon Training

I did my 1st run with Malvern Joggers last night. It was hilly as you would expect!!! I managed 5.5miles @ 10.5 mile pace which I was very pleased with.
I think next Wednesday night I will move up a group and try the 9.5-10 min / mile group.
This week has been good for my training so far.
As long as the snow stays away I should be ok.

Three Passes !!

We had three passes last week in quite difficult conditions so Well done !!!
That's three more new drivers we have helped.
We were lucky to get our tests done before the snow arrived so I'm pleased to say we had no cancelations which can be very frustrating to say the least.
Thankfully all three have been replaced by new starters.
Unfortunately on hold because of the terrible weather at the moment !!
Lets hope next weeks weather is a bit kinder and we can get back to a normal diary.
This is how my Mini is looking at the moment.
Hoping its a bit warmer tomorrow.

Half Marathon Training

Well the snow we have had has really slowed down my training. Have not been out for a run in over 7 Days. I just hope that it hasn't put me back too much.
I will post wen I next train and how it's going. Still too icy to run at the moment.

Driving in snow and ice

Here is some really useful information about driving in snow and ice conditions.

The Highway Code - driving in adverse weather conditions

Let's all be careful out there!
(Can anyone remember what the line above is from?)

Crowle 10K

I've just entered Crowle 10K Run. That's the easy bit, now just to run. Plenty of time and I have a Half Marathon in March to run. So hopefully I should be ok.
