Cycling enthusiasts are being urged to join a cycle tour this summer to help spread environmental messages.

The Otesha cycle tours will take in UK sights while delivering workshops and plays about environmental and social sustainability in schools and youth clubs.

The tours, which are open to 18 to 28 year-olds, will also teach new skills such as bike maintenance, theatre, decision making and group living.

Those interested can choose from two tours, Northern Soul, which takes in Snowdonia, the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District from June 10 to July 23, or Tartan Trail, which runs from August 5 to September 17.

Places are given on a first come, first served basis.
