Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Essex presenters Steve Scruton and Angela Lodge are in their final days of preparation for the 81-mile Essex Way walk across Essex.
Μύ
Their first steps will be taken from Epping Underground Station on Monday 1 May and their first day ends seven miles later at High Ongar Bridge in Chipping Ongar.
Μύ
The gruelling 13-day schedule will see them cover some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes.
Μύ
Each day involves an average six mile walk with a live broadcast from each location en route.
Μύ
Steve said; "The nerves are starting to set in. It is a long way to cover I just hope I've prepared enough for it.
Μύ
"I'm looking forward to meeting and greeting local people along the route, and hopefully having a few of them joining us along the way."
Μύ
The pair will be raising funds for the Essex Air Ambulance.
Μύ
