Tracey is walking around the Isle of Man this week

A woman from the south of England has made it her mission to walk across the UK, Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Channel Islands in aid of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

As a result of a tough time during the Covid-19 pandemic, Tracey Hannam has decided to take on the challenge of walking around all parts of the UK, Ireland and the Crown Dependencies.

She's on the Isle of Man this week as she makes her way over the Manx hills.

Tracey and her tent - which she's lovingly named Aggie - have already covered more than three-and-a-half-thousand miles on foot which is roughly halfway through her journey.

Tracey has already raised more than £4,000 via JustGiving which will be going to the RNLI.

But before she set off around the Island, she visited Manx Radio to tell us how the journey is going so far:
