An East Sussex man who set out to cycle the length of Spain is due to cross the finishing line.

Graham Caldow, from Hove, will have travelled from the country's southernmost tip, in Tarifa, to Bilbao in the north in 30 days.

He is raising money for Team Domenica, a Brighton-based charity that aims to help people with learning disabilities secure and maintain meaningful employment.

The charity previously helped his daughter find a job in the hospitality sector.

Team Domenica. Which was set up in 2016, said it had found paid work for 80% of its clients through its internship system.

Mr Caldow is expected to finish the challenge on Saturday, after cycling some 1,000km (621 miles).
