A DETERMINED firefighter is mounting an epic challenge.

Knutsford Fire Station watch manager Anthony Naylor hopes to ride a Wattbike non-stop for 24 hours wearing full firefighting kit.

The intrepid cyclist is raising money for The Firefighters Charity and Mencap, a charity that helps and supports people with learning disabilities.
