Peter to tackle sponsored trek

A RETIRED gas engineer and Barnard Castle Rotarian is to taking part in a sponsored walk of St Cuthbert’s Way to help the homeless.

Peter Harding will tackle the 62-mile trail between Melrose, in the Scottish Borders, and Lindisfarne, off the coast of Northumberland, between July 27 and August 3.

Mr Harding, who has previously completed long-distance walks on behalf of a number of charities, including Shelter and the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen, said: “The YMCA in Barnard Castle does an amazing amount of work for young people which often goes unrecognised.

“I am really pleased to be able to be able to help them in their work with the homeless.”
