A CYCLIST from Australia will be among the many people taking part in this year’s ever-popular Wild Boar Chase on Sunday, May 15.

The rider from New South Wales will be participating in the fundraiser which raises money for local causes.

Entries are still being taken for the cycling event which starts and finishes at the Speech House, near Coleford.

There are four routes for this non-race event ranging between 21 and 45 miles on mainly off-road tracks and bridleways.
