Fundraiser adds Manx coastline 'detour' to walking challenge

Freemason aims to raise £100,000 by walking 7,500 miles over 18 months

A man is hoping to raise £100,000 for charity and raise awareness of mental health as he walks around the Island's coast.

Chris Jones had been walking around the UK coastline when he decided to take a 'detour' and add the Manx coastline to his challenge.

The funds he raises during his 7,500-mile walk will go to the Masonic Charitable Foundation, which he says helped him when he was suffering.

Chris says he's enjoyed the route here so far:
