A COASTWALKER raising money for charity is celebrating this week after finally walking to all four corners of the UK.
Jim Morton, 61, from Penistone, set off on his epic journey from his home in April last year to raise funds for the Gurkha Welfare Trust, and has now raised £21,600 for the cause.
On Tuesday, day 450 of his challenge, Jim left Land’s End in Cornwall having after walking 7,215 miles so far.
He’s joined by his wife Sue and their two dogs - who are in charge of PR and security on their travels, Jim said.
“I’ve worn out six pairs of boots now, and Sue’s getting the hang of driving our van around the little lanes down here.
“I’ll move onto North Cornwall next, Devon, Somerset, Avon, the whole of Wales, and then another three days walk from the coast to my home in Penistone.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
