A ROUND-BRITAIN coastal charity drive, which began on Pendine Sands and finished near Tenby, is aiming to raise £70,000 for Prostate Cancer UK.

The third annual 4,000-mile drive was organised by the Jaguar E-type Club and saw the cars being flagged away by land speed record-breaker, Don Wales.

Don - the grandson and nephew of two of Britain's greatest land and water speed record-holders, Sir Malcolm Campbell and nephew of Donald Campbell - agreed to support the event after recently undergoing successful treatment for prostate cancer.

Each stage of the drive was over around 180 miles, with most participants signing on for one or two stages and five crews driving the whole way round.

The 19-day drive travelled the coast of Wales, England and Scotland in a clockwise direction, reaching John O'Groats in the north and Land's End in the south.

Its final stage was from Bridgwater in Somerset to Trefloyne Manor, Penally on October 5.

The Round Britain Coastal Drive was devised in 2016 by author and E-type Club co-founder, Philip Porter. In its first two years, the drive raised £150,000 for Prostate Cancer UK and this year so far, over £40,000 has been raised.

Further funds coming in as a result of this year's event will be match-funded pound for pound by an anonymous partner.
