THE charity cycling trio of Ryan Hall, Andrew Baker and George Baker have completed their Land's End to John O'Groats challenge with a staggering £5,000 raised.

In their last few days cycling in the lowlands and highlands they were overwhelmed by Scotland's beauty, and the journey would have gone without incident were it not Ryan's wrong turn.

Heading up the trio, he came to a long downhill run and whilst he was enjoying himself so much, it was not until he got to the bottom that he discovered that Andrew and George were not with him.

He waited and waited, and then cycled back up to the top of the hill — not so enjoyable — only to find George and Andrew waiting for him at the top. He had taken a wrong turn.

This didn't hinder them achieving their goal though, covering 950 miles in 14 days, and in doing so they have raising important funds for their chosen charities.
