A long-distance cyclist from Llangadog is currently taking part in a national 1,500km race which will see him cycle across England and Scotland.

Matthew Page, well known for the cycling journeys he has been on for charity, and world record attempts, is travelling from London to Edinburgh on his bike and back again.

Matthew is aiming to complete the 1,500km cycle in less than 125 hours.

Journeys he has been on before include his ‘Festive 500 Non-Stop’ which saw him cycle 500 miles around Wales without stopping, raising nearly £5,000 for charity in the process.

Earlier this year, he also cycled across Wales, attempting to break the record for the most Welsh castles visited in one week.

Rugby legend Shane Williams previously held the record with 50, as Matthew braved Storm Dudley and Storm Eunice and smashed the record, reaching 67.
