Andrew Keyworth died in April this year aged 62 and was already planning this walk to raise money for Weston Park Cancer Charity, a cause close to his heart.
So following his death his friends decided to complete the walk for him.

A family member said: “Local businesses rallied round with prizes for a raffle and with online donations from the walk raised £4,000 which will be donated to Weston Park in Andrew’s memory.
“Even in bad weather there was a magnificent turnout with all the walkers. It is thanks to the efforts and determination of Alison and Simon that this event has been such a huge success and we Andrew’s family would like to thank everyone involved.”
