A YORK man has set out on a gruelling endurance challenge to the place that helped him at his lowest.
Chris Kendall, who is 33 and lives in Heworth, is setting out on an endurance walk where he plans to travel the 111 miles from York Minister to Keswick in the Lake District on foot in just over two and a half days with his dog for company.
Setting off at the ‘crack of dawn’ on Thursday, August 29, Chris has a rough route in mind – intending to travel via the A66, with his dad on hand every 11 miles offering support and cups of tea - and hopes to arrive in Keswick on the afternoon of Saturday August 31.
