If something does go wrong and you find yourself in an emergency call 999 and ask for the police. A sponsored bike ride around Blair Drummond Safari Park is to take place.

Camphill Blair Drummond will stage the annual event on Saturday, June 9, to raise funds towards its sports and recreational centre appeal.

Camphill is a community for adults with learning disabilities.

This is the seventh time the event has been held and riders will be able to choose from three different bike challenges – ostrich, zebra and cheeky monkey – or the tortoise walking challenge.

Registration from 6pm for a 7pm.
