Brain Tumour Research
More people under 40 get brain tumours than any other form of cancer. Today Drive is reporting on a new charity which has been set up to lobby for more research to find out why this is so.
A quarter of all cancers spread to the brain and campaigners have been telling us why more needs to be done and how much more money they need to raise, to help. The charity's web site can be found at the following link: http://www.braintumourresearch.org/
Why the countryside is wonderful
When we ran an item on Monday's programme about a survey which claims that more than half of Britons think the countryside is boring and many of them are unable to identify common animals and plants, some of you emailed us with pictures to show why it isn't boring. Here are some of the images you sent in.
Andy Cooper sent this view north east from Great Charles' Hill, Stanghow, Cleveland: "Come to Cleveland. It's lovely."
You can get wildlife to visit? Badger called in last week" - Mike Ralph, Shropshire

Drive at Catterick Garrison
As part of 5 live's special armed forces day, Peter was sent to Catterick, the biggest army garrison in Britain, home to 9,500 regular soldiers and a base which trains thousands of new infantry recruits. Peter spoke to some of the troops who were in the final stages of training - their next stop is Afghanistan.
Drive based themselves at the Beharry centre in the School of Infantry Training, where trainees go to eat and socialise. The centre is named in honour of Lance Corporal Johnson Beharry, Britain's highest decorated serving soldier, who won the Victoria Cross for his heroism is Iraq.
Below are a couple of photo's from Peter's trip. For more have a look at our flickr set
