Alan Completes Coast To Coast Challenge…..In Kibworth!

A retired vicar from Kibworth has completed a challenge that saw him walk the distance from Land’s End to John O’Groats around the grounds of the sheltered accommodation complex where he lives.

Alan Pyke, 82, covered the 850 miles in 142 days, walking eight miles a day around Stuart Court, from when lockdown restrictions came into force in March.

He spoke to Hfm:
