Shipley's 'The Bandit' embarks on 500-mile walking and camping odyssey
A Shipley man embarked on Sunday (February 16) on an at-least 500-mile walk to raise funds for charity.
The man, known as 'The Bandit,' will camp in a tent along the way to raise money for homeless charity Shelter, as well as Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
He said: "I am doing this because I spent time on the streets/hostels when I was younger and feel like I need to make a difference instead of being sat around.
"I'm hoping this venture will also raise a lot of awareness into what the daily life of people sleeping rough entails."
The Bandit's fundraising goal is £10,000.
