BBC presenters in three-legged challenge for Children in Need

Phil Goodlad and Judith Ralston are taking part in the three-legged challenge at The Kelpies

BBC Scotland presenters Judith Ralston and Phil Goodlad are tackling a three-legged challenge to raise money for Children in Need.

It is part of a national event that will see presenters from BBC radio stations across the country walk a total of 1,000 miles for charity tied at the leg to a partner.

Judith and Phil are walking 12 miles over two days to play their part in the challenge, and will be joined by famous faces such as Still Game star Sanjeev Kohli and singer Nathan Evans.

This year's Children in Need appeal show will hit BBC One on the evening of Friday 14 November and will be presented by Paddy McGuinness and Vernon Kay.

Pudsey Bear joined the pair as they started their challenge

Phil and Judith started their challenge on Tuesday, where they walked around The Kelpies near Falkirk and were joined by Children in Need mascot Pudsey Bear.

The pair had some preparation for the challenge in Glasgow last week and Judith said: "It was a bit trickier than I expected and actually more tiring than I expected as well."

The weather presenter said taking part in the challenge means a lot to her as she has met some of the charities involved and said some do not get as much financial support as bigger charities.

Judith said: "I've always found it really humbling to see what BBC Children in Need brings to these charities. So, it's a really great way to do what I can do to help."

Phil, who used to work in local radio in Shetland, said: "There's a real sense that everybody comes together as one to raise money. And I think it's lovely to be able to be doing that because it is such a good cause."
