The finishing line is where Chris spends a lot of his time at his caravan

The community in Filey is getting as many people involved as possible and have arranged free fish and chips for everyone who takes part in the walk, as well as a buffet on the evening of arrival in a local pub that Chris visits often.

Chris said: “If anyone wants to walk any of the way with me I would be so grateful to you.”
