A 63-year-old Cowbridge Tennis member has embarked on a 200-mile cycle from Caernarfon to Cowbridge as part of a fundraising bid to raise £15,000 for the club with a contribution to Prostate Cymru.

Nigel Osborne left Caernarfon Castle at 8am this morning, and will make his way down the Welsh coast before arriving in Aberaeron this evening.

He is due back at the clubhouse around 5pm tomorrow [Saturday 18 September] where the club is hosting a celebratory BBQ.

The money raised will contribute towards the cost of a fifth tennis court at the club, alongside funding already secured from the Vale of Glamorgan County Council and Sport Wales.

The extra court will allow Cowbridge Tennis to expand its facilities as part of its commitment to provide more capacity for both members and non-members to be able to play, improve and enjoy the sport.

The money raised by the cycle challenge will see 20% donated to Prostate Cymru.
