Nine-year-old twins William and Oliver Barraclough are cycling 30 miles for Sport Relief.

The twins, who go to Gargrave Primary School, will cycle along the Leeds-Liverpool Canal from Skipton to Leeds.

And the sporty youngsters will be joined by their dad, Mark, as they undertake their challenge next Friday, March 19.

Mark, who works for Northern Rail, said they planned to do the ride on a Friday to avoid walkers along the canal at the weekends.

“We shall be just doing one way. It should take us about four or five hours, which is quite enough for nine-year-olds,” he said.

People across the country will be carrying out all sorts of sports-related challenges during Sports Relief week to raise money for poor and vulnerable people at home and abroad.
