A 76-year-old man has set off on a 5,000-mile (8,000km) bike ride around the coast of Great Britain to raise money for charity and inspire others to “stay fit and healthy”.
Norman Brown, a grandad-of-four from Coventry, is bike-packing for the next two months, to raise money for charities Prostate Cancer UK and The Myton Hospices.
He aims to complete the coastal route, heading to Land’s End before travelling up the west coast and finishing back at his starting point in Exmouth, in August.
Brown, who began his challenge on Tuesday, said he had found the first couple of days “extremely challenging”, but it was what he had “set himself up for”.
