Record number of walkers to take on charity hike

More walkers than ever are believed to be taking part in a set of annual coastal challenges.

Hikers are tackling one of four events at the 35th Island Walk along the Jersey coastline on Saturday, featuring routes of up to 48 miles (77.2km).

Around 1,800 people are set to take on the challenges, with all entry fees and money raised given to local charities.

Committee member Jake Crichton said the walks were something "that encompasses the whole island" with organisers making them as accessible as possible.

"A lot of people like to do a better time than they did previously or it's their first time here and it's the perfect way to see the island," Crichton said.

First-time participant Daisy said it's "nice to have a goal".

"It's going to be beautiful," she said.

"I haven't lived here forever so I haven't even seen the whole island. I'm excited to do the walk."

The Main Walk and Relay Challenge started at Elizabeth Harbour Ferry Terminal, St Helier, at 03:00 BST.

The Lieutenant Governor's walk started at Les Fontaines Tavern car park at 09:30.
