BBC radio presenters said taking part in a 1,000-mile (1,609km) three-legged charity challenge for Children in Need had been long but fun.

Tim Hunter and Steph Watkins from BBC Radio Guernsey have been participating in the event on Tuesday and Wednesday, alongside other BBC presenters to raise money for the charity.

As part of the challenge, Hunter and Watkins have been tied together with another person.

The duo said the support received from people, including those who have thrown money from their car windows as they drove past, had been "fantastic".

Each BBC radio station has been attempting a total of 25 miles per station on Tuesday and Wednesday.

On the first day, Hunter and Watkins visited locations including Bulwer Avenue, Saumarez Park and the Fairy Ring to chalk off some of the miles.

Their routes on day two included wanders around St Martins Primary School, Footes Lane and Delancey Park.

Watkins said she took it all "one step at a time".

"I'm trying not to think too much about it later and just enjoying everything as it comes," she said.

Hunter said he had been looking forward to "having his right leg back".
