A SHOP worker has cycled 70 miles as part of a charity baton relay.

Matt Witney pedalled between Cotswold Outdoor stores in Durham City and Harrogate today (Friday, August 29) in aid of Wings For Life, which funds research into the treatment of spinal injury victims.

He carried with him a baton which is being taken 3,000 miles around 69 Cotswold stores.

The relay started in London on Sunday, June 29, and reached as far north as Aberdeen before returning south.

It is due to finish back in London on Tuesday, September 19.
