Hogs cross bridge for charities

The ride is to raise money for charities

About 3,000 Harley Davidson riders from across Europe and the UK were expected to ride across the Old Severn Bridge on Sunday in aid of local charities.

The Hoggin The Bridge event was organised by the Bridgwater Chapter of the Harley Davidson Owners Group.

Charities to benefit include St Anne's Hospice, SARA, Secret World, The Air Ambulance and Yeovil Air Cadets.

Steve Bayliss, from the Harley Davidson group, said: "It's our main fundraising event and is now in its eighth year.

"We've raised an average of £10,000 for local charities in both Chepstow and Bridgwater," he said.
