Yorkshire Based Coastline Walker Hits Home Turf

A Yorkshireman who is walking round the UK coastline to raise funds for the Gurkha Welfare Trust is on home soil today as he treks down the Yorkshire Coast.

Jim Morton is on Day 298 of his walk which so far has raised over £12,000 for the charity.

Jim says he is making good progress.

Jim Morton set off from Penistone last April. So far he's clocked up 4,800 miles and today will be walking from Robin Hood's bay to Scarborough.

Jim told Paddy @ Breakfast why he's doing the walk.

You can follow Jim's progress on his Just Giving page https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/richard-morton11

He also provides daily updates on his Facebook page.
