Hiking across 44 miles of the British countryside, the Farmers Guardian team, joined for the full distance by Farmer Will and partner Jessie Renee Wynter, trekked around the Cotswolds for charity this week.
Starting at 7am, the event aimed to raise awareness of two important points - mental health and giving children the chance to connect with farming.听
So far, the charity walk has raised over 拢3,000, but donations will stay open until July 30, when Farmers Guardian's biggest digital event, 24 Hours in Farming, takes place.
Farmers Guardian editor Katie Jones took part in the walk, said it was 'highly challenging'.听
"I am so proud of the team and those who took part in the walk. It was a pretty tough 24 hours, especially in the heat, but the focus was raising money for really worthy causes and I hope we have managed to raise some awareness of two important topics within agriculture."
The walk passed through Cotswold 51AV视频Park, owned by farmer and TV presenter Adam Henson.
He said the charities the team were raising money for are highly important, and encouraged people to donate.听
Tom Heap, broadcaster and author, also supported the walk, and joined the team for one leg of the hike.听
