Retired West Lothian man completes gruelling 500-mile cycle across the UK for charity

Gordon Young, 61, along with his friend John Bruce and wife Tina, raised a four-figure sum for Scotland's International Healthcare Charity EMMS by cycling 500 miles between the highest peaks in Scotland, England and Wales.

Gordon, from Linlithgow, completed the charity's sponsored Malawi Bike Ride which is typically held in the East African country, by climbing Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, completing the gruelling challenge on September 9.
