A Plymouth man has embarked on a remarkable 100-mile charity hike across the South West.

Kirk O'Connor set off from Ilfracombe on Wednesday, 12 March, and has been hiking tirelessly towards his hometown of Plymouth. 

The inspiring journey comes after Kirk's Dad tragically passed away earlier this year, only six weeks after his cancer diagnosis.

Throughout his challenging trek, Kirk has not only faced the tough terrain of the South West Coast Path but has also been wild camping each night.

Kirk is scheduled to complete his inspiring journey on St Patrick's Day, Monday, 17 March, arriving at the well-known Irish pub, Kitty O'Hanlon's, in Plymouth city centre.
