DJ cycling to Ibiza while spinning tracks

Andy Gulch is aiming to raise £20,000 over the course of his 40-day challenge for local charities

A DJ from Wolverhampton is cycling 1,450 miles ( 2,333km) from Birmingham to Ibiza, while spinning tracks.

Andy Gulch is aiming to raise £20,000 over the course of his 40-day journey for local charities Birmingham Children's Hospital and The Albion Foundation.

The hospital helped save the life of Mr Gulch's friend's son, Arlo, who has a rare heart condition.

"He would not be here today it it wasn't for this hospital," Mr Gulch said.

Mr Gulch's journey on the 80kg cargo bike will start on 10 July, when he will cycle south to Dover.

He will then travel through France and the Pyrenees Mountains, before the final stretch to one of Europe's top music destinations, Ibiza.

Mr Gulch will be documenting his journey through his Instagram and TikTok pages.

The cargo bike has had a deck added to the front by Mr Gulch who admitted his DIY skills were pretty rudimentary.

"The rain is the thing I am most worried about, I've got all the electrical equipment," he said.

Mr Gulch is planning on cycling about 100 miles each day, playing different sets along the way, while live-streaming on TikTok and YouTube.

"Because I do it for a living, I do it every week, it will just be an extension of my club sets." he added.

Friends and family will be supporting the DJ, who hopes to reach Ibiza by 19 August.
