A 550-KM cycle ride through Cambodia is an Oxfordshire man's way of helping clear deadly land mines.

It will raise money for the Mines Advisory Group which is working in Cambodia and other countries clearing land mines and other unexploded material, the legacy of 35 years of conflict.

Stuart Hunt, 39, of Bridleway, Goring, will take part in the sponsored ride between November 22 and December 2 in hot and humid conditions.

The self-employed electronics sales expert, who will cover an average of 80 miles a day, said: "The work of the Mines Advisory Group is so important.

"Sixty people a month are still being killed and maimed by these mines."
