Former Royal Navy sailor is walking 7,500 miles around UK coast

A former Royal Navy sailor is walking around nearly 8,000 miles around the UK coast after first coming up with the idea aged seven years old.

Jim Morton set off nearly a year ago from Penistone, South Yorks, and is currently in Edinburgh, on his 277th day of the trek.

The donations raised will go charity The Gurkha Welfare Trust, after a devastating earthquake in 2015 devastated parts of Nepal.
