Radio presenters from across the country have taken on day two of a 1,000-mile three-legged challenge for Children in Need (CIN).

In the South West, the day started bright and early, where BBC Radio Cornwall presenter James Churchfield - and Pudsey - paid a visit to Grampound School.

Churchfield, alongside James Dundon, each completed 12.5 miles (20.12km) over two days.

Throughout the morning, teams also covered routes in Lanhydrock, and a wander through the Eden Project, before Churchfield and Dundon met up for the final footsteps at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint.

James Churchfield and Pudsey were cheered on by the school pupils

In Grampound, Churchfield and Pudsey managed eight laps around the school field, being cheered on by pupils.

At 11:00 BST, Dundon began his leg of the walk at Lanhydrock, where he walked four miles (6.4km) in the car park.

He then travelled to HMS Raleigh, where he was joined by Pudsey to cross the finish line.

After Churchfield's visit to Eden, he also headed to Torpoint to also cross the finish line there.

A group of about 20 people is gathered in front of a stone archway that forms part of an old, weathered building. They stand on a gravel path, dressed in casual outdoor clothing, with some wearing bright fluorescent vests. Among them, James Dundon is holding a plush toy bear about 2ft high.
