A FORMER Andover man is to cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats.

Darren Klat, who now lives in Salisbury, will cycle 120 miles per day with his friend Mark Underwood in aid of Salisbury Stars Appeal and the CF Trust. The ride will start on 24 August.

Darren said: “We appreciate cycling the length of Britain is not an original idea, however to us it represents a massive challenge as neither of us has attempted to cycle anywhere near this distance before.”
