A father and his two sons have just walked the length of the Pennine Way into Scotland to raise funds for Springhill Hospice.
Richard Barnes and his sons Andrew and Sheldon travelled 270 miles from Edale in Derbyshire, over the Pennines and Hadrian's Wall, to Kirk Yetholm in Scotland in a gruelling 19 day walk.
Their trail took in 287 gates, 249 timber stiles, 183 stone stiles and 204 bridges.
Springhill Hospice provides 16 in-patient beds and 16 Day Care places for people with palliative care needs.
People can still donate money for the trio's achievement by visiting their JustGiving page.
