A Portishead man and his mate who paddled down the River Avon in bathtubs - have raised thousands of pounds for charity.

Rob Knott and Ric Canham hope their unusual 17 mile challenge has also set a new world record after Rob did it in 13 hrs and 45 minutes.

They also raised more than £4,000 for the Alzheimer's Society and the Portishead Lifeboat Trust.
