CRICKETING legend Marcus Trescothick will be cycling through our region on Friday raising money and awareness for Children’s Hospice South West.

On the final day of his five day trip the team of 15, which will include some local people, will cycle from Plymouth via Tavistock and Gunnislake to Callington Cricket Club for lunch where Marcus will give some local children cricket lessons. They will then head off to Dobwalls and on to the A390 through Lostwithiel to St Austell with a grand finish at Little Harbour children’s hospice.

Marcus is celebrating his testimonial year.
