Record number of walkers to take on charity hike

A record number of walkers are expected to take part in coastal challenges.

The 35th annual Island Walk will see hikers take on one of four events along the Jersey coastline, featuring routes of up to 48 miles (77.2km).

Around 1,800 people are set to take on the challenges on Saturday, 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 will start at Elizabeth Harbour Ferry Terminal, St Helier, at 03:00 BST.

The Lieutenant Governors walk will start at Les Fontaines Tavern car park at 09:30.
