Sophie Raworth,news reader.Man vs Horse,Marathon des Sables,runs and walks some trails as non-stoppers.
The late John Noakes,Pennine Way and Coast to Coast.
John Hughes,walked from Leicester to Lyon and back in 10 days,a distance of 1500 miles.His performance was almost superhuman considering he slept for 8 hours a night in police stations.Sub 7 min mile pace all the way and he was walking! Made quite a name for himself at the time until I congratulated him on a local radio phone in for setting new world bests for 48 hours,six days and 1000 miles that had previously been held by the legendary Yiannis Kouros.Seemed to disappear off the face of the Earth together with the thousands of pounds people had donated to his "charities".Sometimes these criminal celebs are far more colourful than those on TV.
