Elaine Styles has completed a 751km cycle ride across France collecting around £1,500 for the Vision Care for Homeless People charity she chairs.

Her journey involved climbing 15,868m and burning an estimated 12,743 calories, with Styles saying the funds were needed to help open a new Vision Care for Homeless People centre in Manchester.

She added: ‘I am very proud to have completed such an amazing challenge. I completed all the climbs which at times were very challenging – especially as France was also having a heat wave and temperatures reached 43°C. The scenery was absolutely stunning.’
