Presenters' three-legged walk for Children in Need

Kofi Smiles and Carla Greene are looking forward to meeting charities and individuals

BBC radio presenters will walk 50 miles around East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire as part of a three-legged challenge for Children in Need.

Every BBC local radio station is hoping to complete 25 miles (40.23 km) towards a combined total of 1,000 miles (1,610km).

BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Scott Dalton and Frances Finn and BBC Radio Humberside's Kofi Smiles and Carla Greene will walk their stints on 4 and 5 November.

They will be walking each mile tethered to a different person, from Make a Difference award winners to Hull City mascot Roary the Tiger.

Scott Dalton, breakfast presenter for Radio Lincolnshire, said: "It's going to be great to meet so many fantastic people and hear their stories as we take on the challenge.

"I'm comfortable with the walking bit but I'm not sure how hard it's going to be walking three-legged.

"When Pudsey calls you, just can't say no to the famous yellow bear."

After taking part in a swimming challenge last year, BBC Radio Humberside's Kofi Smiles said he was "excited" to be taking part in another fundraiser for Children in Need.

"I'm looking forward to all the people we're going to meet on this journey. It's amazing how people come and support us," he said.

"These challenges aren't about us. They're about the people and the communities we serve. I can't wait to learn more about the projects that are funded by Children in Need and meet some of the people involved."
