MONEY RAISED - A local charity has had its funds boosted following a 140- mile ride across the country by three intrepid local cyclists. Pete Newman and Andrew Winterbotham from Dymock, and Steve Wood from Bromsberrow Heath, completed the four-day ride to raise money for the Tom Roberts Adventure Centre in Newent. The journey took them from Sunderland, over the Northumberland moors, across the Lake District to the finish in Workington. The hardest day was the 65-mile slog across the moors over 11 hours. More than £200 was raised which will help develop social and recreational activities at the centre for use by the local community.
