Earlier this year, three generations of mountain bike superstars headed to the Scottish Highlands for a five-day adventure. Trials legend Hans 'No Way' Rey was joined by reigning downhill world champion Steve Peat and man-of-the-moment Danny MacAskill.

You can view a video of some of the highlights here, and there's a full feature about the trip in this month's Mountain Biking UK magazine (issue 254).

Now the trio's hosts, Highlands and Islands Adventures, are auctioning off a photo of the crew on eBay in aid of Hans's charity, Wheels4Life. Taken by renowned mountain bike photographer Andy McCandlish, the image shows the riders after they were dropped in Torridon by helicopter.

It has been signed by all three stars and framed, and is being sold alongside a copy of Peaty's new book, Steve Peat World Champion: Seventeen Years in the Making, which has also been autographed. The auction began on Sunday and is due to run for 10 days. Bidding has so far reached £31, so why not join in? You can follow the auction here.
