The motorbike enthusiasts riding from London to Barrow for Dave Day have been supported by a service station along the route.

Knutsford Services, which will act as one of the main stops during the commemorative ride, will allow those taking part to park for free on their site between 10:00am and 2:00pm on June 8.

Jason Woodcock, the man tasked to make the Dave Day plans a reality, confirmed the news on Tuesday night during his latest update ahead of the massive event.

He said: "There will be no charges for motorbikes parking at the services.

"Do not arrive there before 10 unless you're willing to pay and the same goes for staying after two - although, if you're there after two, you've missed the ride!

"This is fantastic news."

Jason added that he was still awaiting confirmation from Oxford Services that the same principle will apply there too.
