Trio from Cayton, near Scarborough, complete Lyke Wake Walk for Heart Research UK
Three friends from Cayton – Matthew Conlon, Mark Lawton and Daniel Boynton - took on The Lyke Wake walk challenge, a 40-mile walk across the North York moors from Osmotherley to Ravenscar, to raise money for Heart Resarch UK.
They set off just before 4.30am from Osmotherley and arrived at Ravenscar just after 7pm, completing in just under 15 hours with a total walking time of 13 hours 9 minutes – the challenge is to do it in less than 24 hours.
As a result, they have now raised more than £1,600 for Heart Research UK.
They did the walk in memory of Matthew and his wife Sophie’s cousin, David Glaves Sawdon, who sadly passed away at a young age.
They said: “It was such a physical, mentally and emotional experience.
"But we’re glad we did it and for such a good cause”.
