Daphne Belt, of Toddington Lane, Toddington, has challenged herself to complete the impressive feat of endurance in the run-up to her 75th birthday, next year.

She will be tackling a 1,000m swim at the Littlehampton Swimming and Sports Centre, followed by a 10-mile bike ride along the coast and culminating in a two-mile run along the town’s seafront, every morning, starting from June 1.
