Pudsey's pedallers pass through Marston Green

TEAM RICKSHAW 2017: The six young riders with One Show presenters
Matt Baker and Alex Jones

THE BBC's Rickshaw Challenge travelled through the streets of Marston Green yesterday (Saturday).
One Show host Matt Baker is joining a group of inspirational young people on a 500 mile cycle ride between London and Glasgow.
The team of riders take it in turns in the pedal rickshaw, which is scheduled to arrive in the Scottish city on Friday (November 17).
Yesterday was the third day of the nine-day challenge, taking the party from Banbury, in Oxfordshire, up to Cannock.
The local leg of the route saw the team travel along Bickenhill Road, Station Road and Holly Lane, with them then heading out of the village towards Tile Cross.
In the past six years, The Rickshaw Challenge has raised more than £16million for the Children in Need appeal.
This year's riders - all of whom have been supported by the charity's projects - include 18-year-old Liv, who previously lost her father to pancreatic cancer, Luke, 17, who has cerebral palsy, and Ben, 16, who helps care for his older sister - who has a rare neuro-degenerative disorder.
