Wrexham man's Land's End to John O'Groats charity trek
Due to the specially adapted trailer, the 70-year-old will be unable to use motorways, so is having to take a much less direct route.
He hopes the 1,200-mile ride, in aid on Nightingale House Hospice and Blood Bikes Wales (who he has previously ridden for), will take between a week and 10 days.

Stuart aims for cover 150-200 miles a day, and en route he will sleep under a tarp sheet attached to the side of the bike, with a Welsh flag.
He said: "It's all a big zigzaggy, and have no real set time, so will just have to see how it goes.
"The plan was originally for me to do it both ways, starting from Wrexham but members of the family weren't too keen.

"But now two of the lads from Blood Bikes are taking me in a van to Land's End, and picking me up from John O'Groats.
"It's a long way for them to come and they're very good offering to help."
Not one for taking it easy, he added: "I'm fairly fit for my age but you've just got to keep going while you can."
Stuart, who has already secured sponsorship ahead of the trek, will also be collection donations during his travels, with 100% going to the two causes.

Setting off for his solo ride on May 8, he hopes to be completed by his birthday on May 24.
Lifelong friend Mark Richards added: "Stuart has a heart bigger than anyone I've ever met."
Before his journey, Stuart and his bike set up at The Turf to collect donations, ahead of what would be Wrexham AFC's big league promotion match.
Hopefully the good luck will continue, and he will be in for some decent weather on the way.

Children in Wales take part in mass singalong for Euro 2025
The event, known as the Wales' Women's Euro Singalong 2025, took place on Wednesday, July 2, and involved 1,051 primary schools across Wales. It was organised by Urdd Gobaith Cymru in partnership with the Football Association of Wales, S4C, and Boom Cymru. Siân Lewis, chief executive of the Urdd, said: "The Urdd's #FelMerch campaign aims to inspire and empower young women and girls throughout the country, so we've jumped at the chance to show our support to the Welsh women's squad by arranging a nationwide singalong, with the help of our partners. "Our singalong is a fantastic opportunity for pupils at Welsh and English-medium schools alike to come together, be proud of their Welsh heritage, and feel part of the national football team's campaign." The event, held at 10:30am, gave primary school children the chance to celebrate and support the Welsh women's football team. Children sang a selection of Welsh songs, including a new anthem, Ymlaen (Onwards), written by singer-songwriter Caryl Parry Jones and producer Branwen Munn. Singer and presenter Aleighcia Scott, who appeared as a coach on S4C's Y Llais, said: "It's a momentous occasion for the Welsh women to be competing at the Euros for the first time, and I can't wait to take part in the Urdd's singalong to celebrate this historical moment and bring Welsh children along on the journey. "It's been an amazing journey for me learning Welsh so far, and taking part in events like the Urdd's singalong makes me feel like the Welsh language does belong to me, and it can belong to all the children of Wales too." In Lucerne, Switzerland, where Wales will play their opening game, the Urdd is also showcasing contemporary Welsh folk talent as part of its #FelMerch campaign. The campaign aims to inspire and empower young women and girls to stay active and overcome barriers to participation in sport. The Urdd will also host a National Female #FelMerch Sports Conference at Cardiff City Stadium on November 13 as part of the tournament's legacy. The event follows the success of previous conferences designed to support and empower women and girls through sport. The Urdd's Euro 2025 projects are supported by the Welsh Government's Euro 2025 Partner Support Fund.

Wales to stage cultural celebration at UEFA Women's EURO
A £1 million cultural programme, supported by the Welsh Government, will run alongside the country's debut at UEFA Women's EURO 2025 in Switzerland, combining sport, arts and national values in a celebration of Welsh identity. The scheme is designed to promote creativity, equality and inclusion through a series of events and partnerships. Professor Laura McAllister, former Wales captain and chair of the UEFA human rights board for the tournament, said: "The tournament provides the opportunity not just to see our team on the pitch but to demonstrate to the world the type of nation Cymru is. "This is our chance to showcase everything that's good about our nation – a perfect platform for us to demonstrate that equality and human rights are important to who we are in Wales." The cultural programme, delivered by a Team Cymru partnership including the Welsh Government, Wales Arts International and the Football Association of Wales, will feature live performances from artists such as Aleighcia Scott and Adwaith. In addition to events in Switzerland, the programme will include activities in Wales such as youth engagement, coach training and cultural celebrations to promote lasting impact.

Senedd is set to sign off on £1.30-a-night tourism tax
Senedd members voted on amendments to the tourism tax bill, which would see £1.30 a person, plus VAT, charged on stays in hotels, B&Bs and self-catering accommodation. A lower rate of 80p would apply to hostels and campsites, with the 22 councils in Wales given powers to decide whether to introduce a local levy from 2027 at the earliest. During a two-hour 'stage-three' debate, finance secretary Mark Drakeford told the Senedd it is likely the bill will operate in some parts of Wales but not others. If passed as expected at the fourth and final stage next week, the bill would also establish a register of visitor accommodation providers with separate plans for licensing set to follow. Sam Rowlands, the Conservatives' shadow finance secretary, reiterated his party's concerns about the proposals, with the tourism sector 'united in its opposition to the bill.' Mr Rowlands said tourism is responsible for one in eight jobs and the multi-billion-pound sector pumps significant funds into the public purse through other taxes. Conservative amendments aimed at removing powers in the bill for Welsh ministers to extend the tourism tax to berths and moorings were voted down. Mr Rowlands' amendment to give councils flexibility to introduce either of the levy rates, rather than being required to bring in both or none, was voted down as were his calls for a 'more proportional and fairer' percentage-based tax and an attempt to set the levy at 1p. Proposals for a tourism tax were part of the three-year cooperation agreement, between Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Government, which collapsed in May 2024. Luke Fletcher reiterated Plaid Cymru's support, describing the current tourism model as 'overly extractive in nature which then puts considerable pressure on communities.' Conservative calls for educational trips, young carers, veterans and people living in Wales to be added to exemptions to the tax were rejected by the Senedd. With Labour and Plaid holding two thirds of seats, and barring a Leighton Andrews-style mishap, the bill as amended on July 1 is highly likely to be passed on July 8.
