Staff at Erlestoke Prison have raised over £1,500 for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance through a 24-hour sponsored bike ride.

The 15 male and female prison officers, family members and friends went the distance repeatedly cycling a seven mile circular route of the villages near Erlestoke.

Prison governor Andy Rogers said: “It was a brilliant effort. They cycled over 2,200 miles, that’s the distance from Erlestoke to Madrid and back.”
