In total 340 tonnes were pulled, 300 metres travelled and more than £1,000 raised in a truck pull last weekend.

Members of Evolution Strength and Fitness, in Upper Mills Road, Aylesford, took part in the event which saw 10 men pull a 17 tonne vehicle over a 15 metre course and 10 women pull a 7 tonne vehicle the same distance.

Ballerinas and super heroes strained in aid of The Children's Trust, raising more than £1,000 in the process.

Steve Brown, 51, was the oldest member of the group to complete the feat of strength last Saturday.

The Aylesford gym was opened by Andy Gower, who also participated in the pull, in July.
