Cyclist completes 5,000-mile round-Britain challenge

Josh Garman was greeted by a crowd of family and friends as he crossed the finish line in Berwick-upon-Tweed

He has raised £30,000 for the Hope for Hasti charity, which is named after Maj Brannigan's eight-year-old daughter. "I set off with no cycling experience," Mr Garman said. "To start with it was a physical challenge, the trailer kept having to be fixed.He said he was helped by so many people along his journey, including early on when he was in Teesside.

Heading back south on the Scottish east coast, he was buffeted by strong winds. His trailer was making things even more difficult, and he had two crashes. Most children with the syndrome have some hearing impairment and in some cases this may be severe enough for them to need hearing aidsSource: CdLS Foundation UK and Ireland"I have never locked the bike or the trailer. I would leave it for hours at a time and come back and people had left money and food.

Foreign butchers will be brought to Britain in a bid to save ChristmasFOREIGN butchers will be brought to Britain and red tape on EU lorry drivers torn up to save Christmas Ministers acted after a flood of warnings that Brits may not be able to get pigs in blankets o… An EU butcher arrives in Borisland... Needs a place to stay near the factory, how much rent will they need to pay ? How much deposit will they need to hand over first ? How much will they be paid for a 12 hour shift ? After Xmas they will be booted out Is it worth it ?... NO. Why because the Brits aren’t capable of doing this? I thought the Brits always complained their jobs were always being taken?! Go on, it’s all yours. 'will be brought to Britain'? This sounds like someone is going over and rounding them up! They wont come, just like the HGV drivers, whats the point for such a short period given that they will have travel & living expenses etc.
