Scott Dalton and Corazon Garcia are walking the Viking Way to raise money for BBC Children in Need... that’s 147 miles in just 7 days.


They’ll be walking up to 30 miles each day - no matter what the weather.

Scott says, "It's going to be very demanding, but we've got to do it as we're raising money for Children in Need.

"Although it's daunting, we can't wait to start - it will be great to meet people along the route and I'm sure the Yellowbelly spirit will help us through."
