Mr Peddle, 70, said: “The Salvation Army’s saying – ‘Heart to God, hand to man’ – has inspired me to take on this challenge. It will be a personal pilgrimage too – we are renting out our home and my wife will be re-locating to Leeds whilst I am raising the money.

“A support van is following me on my trek so I can have a break and sleep wherever needed.”
