A group of five amputees calling themselves the "prosthetic pedallers" have completed a 90km charity cycle around Arran.

The group were raising money for Finding Your Feet, the Glasgow-based charity which helped them after limb loss.

Nikki Etheridge, 27, Taylor 'Taz' Jones, 17, Becca Sellar, 24, Corinne Hutton, 46, and Alan Henderson 45, took on the gruelling Ride Arran challenge on Saturday.

The annual event is now its third year and requires cyclists to take on a notoriously tough route around the island, with undulating roads, tight corners and stretches of road which are fully exposed to the elements.

It is considered demanding even for experienced cyclists and this year is the first time amputees took part.

Lower limb amputees Ms Etheridge and Taz and quadruple amputee Ms Hutton used tandem bikes, which were also ridden by experienced cyclists Craig Alexander, James Eccles and Ally Anderson.

Ms Sellar and Mr Henderson, both below-the-knee amputees, rode the full route solo.

All five completed the challenge, raising around £6500 for the charity.

Finding Your Feet was set up in 2014 by quadruple amputee and single mother Ms Hutton, who had both her hands and feet amputated after suffering pneumonia and septicaemia in June 2013.

It provides support to those affected by amputations or limb deficiency, helping people who have lost limbs achieve independence in hospital, at home or in the workplace.

The charity has already raised more than £250,000 and funds projects including amputee climbing, swimming, skiing, movement therapy and tennis.

Speaking ahead of the challenge, Ms Hutton said: "Finding Your Feet is about encouraging amputees to realise their full potential and, as an amputee myself, I love to take on new challenges and push myself to the limits.

"Cycling round Arran is a huge challenge in itself for experienced and able-bodied cyclists so for those who have lost limbs to take on this cycle is phenomenal.

" I'm feeling excited and a little nervous as, having no hands, makes it very difficult for me to hold on.

"But I'm hoping my co-pilot on the tandem will do the steering! Each of us has our own challenges, but I'm confident we'll get round and I hope the public will support us.

"Everyone taking part in the cycle is raising money so that we can continue the work that we do for amputees in Scotland and beyond."

She added: "All the sponsorship raised will go towards supporting other amputees through emotional help and through sports and recreational projects which make an enormous difference to those we work with.

"I hope that in doing this cycle, we'll show all amputees out that there really are no limits after limb loss."
