Harris Tweed cycle charity challenge

The latest fundraising challenge to hit the Western Isles will see a Harris Tweed fan dressed in the Clo Mhor cycle from East Sussex to Stornoway.

Kelvin Pawsey said his ride, which will involve a ferry crossing from Skye, will raise funds for the Harris Tweed Authority Educational Trust and RNLI.

“On his bike”

He plans to set off from Rye Lifeboat Station in East Sussex this Sunday (August 1st) and he expects the challenge will take up the best part of the month.

For the 900 mile journey Kelvin will carry everything he needs – including a tent and tweed bunting – on his bike.
