A nine-time TT winner is raising cash for a Manx racing charity with an epic 1,000 mile motorbike ride in the UK.
Charlie Williams will ride from Lands End to John O'Groats on two vintage Rudge motorcycles in a bid to raise £5,000 for the TT Riders Association and Classrooms In The Clouds, which builds schools in Nepal.
He'll be accompanied by Cheshire firefighter Zach Burns.
The duo have set up a fundraising webpage which has so far raised around a quarter of its £5,000 target.
