CYCLISTS are launching a Hastings-to-Edinburgh bike ride to raise awareness of and funds for the Freedom from Torture campaign.
Volunteers will set off on July 1, arriving in Edinburgh on July 28, planning a series of events along the route.
Organisers have appealed for “bike buddies” to accompany the cyclists on local sections of the ride.
Moira Dunworth of the campaign’s Edinburgh group, said: “We don’t envisage there being very many cyclists at any one time and we are hoping that some will be volunteering for some of the route legs.
“We are planning to create a website for our local group and to feature various aspects of this ride as a main part of that.
“The wave of moral support from around the country is wonderful.”
