Joshua, 14, jet-skis across Channel twice

FEARLESS teenager Joshua Ellis completed a marathon jet ski from Poole to Alderney and back at the weekend.

The 14-year-old from Yate, near Bristol, finished the 120-mile charity challenge in less than nine hours.

He is the youngest person ever to jet ski from the mainland to Alderney.

Joshua (pictured), who attends Brimsham Green School, in Yate, was raising funds for Breakthrough Breast Cancer and Coeliac UK. He has raised more than £6,000 so far, with more donations expected.
