A group of friends have cycled the length of Britain, from Landโ€™s End to John Oโ€™Groats, raising over ยฃ15,000 for charity in the process.

The 20-strong team from Collingham Velo Club spent 10 days in the saddle, battling the elements, and overcoming one of the biggest physical challenges any of them had ever taken part in.

What started out as an idea among friends quickly escalated and expanded, as Alan Skipper, the clubโ€™s vice chairman, explained: โ€œIt was one of those conversations that started out at the pub a couple of years ago, and then one thing led to another.

โ€œItโ€™s one of those bucket list challenges that not a lot of people can say theyโ€™ve completed.โ€
