A delegate to a union annual conference is cycling 840 miles to the meeting to raise money for charity as well as campaigning against job losses.
Mark Chapman is getting on his bike to travel from Peterhead in Scotland to Brighton, where the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) will hold its national gathering on May 18.
Mr Chapman, who works for HM Revenue and Customs, aims to raise money for the union's hardship fund, the MS Society and a charity set up in memory of a friend who died of cancer.
He will stop off at HMRC offices across the country to highlight closures and job losses under the Government's cuts in public spending.
