'Birmingham to London walk fuelled by kindness'

Two strangers have come together to walk 150 miles from Birmingham to London without spending any money, as a social experiment to prove kindness still exists.

Adam Lind along with John Sweeney, are on day six of their challenge, just a couple of days away from reaching the capital.

"The Brummies were great," Mr Lind said when describing their hospitality. "Because we're going down the Grand Union Canal way there are few villages. We were tired and hadn't eat, but stumbled across this pub that just took to us and what we were doing," he said.

The pair have been offered free pints, a night's sleep on a narrowboat and packets of pork scratchings, all for free.

Mr Lind added: "What was amazing is everyone in the pub that was sitting on these separate tables for their roast suddenly were on their feet chatting to each other about the world.

"For us, it's this ripple effect that really feels magical."

As they walk, the duo have hung carboard signs on their backs and people have taken to their cause, they said.

"We got given cards and bought a roast dinner, our spirits were high again because of all the human interaction," Mr Lind said.

"John had his first experience of pork scratchings."

They aim to reach London on Sunday and have enjoyed spending a night in a variety of locations.

"We've slept on a boat, in a caravan, a tepee, and in a house," Mr Lind said.

"We're really spreading ourselves across every kind of vessel or accommodation we can.

"It's been so incredible, and just the conversations that it creates around human kindness."
