BBC Radio Devon presenters tackling three-legged challenge


BBC radio presenters have begun their part of a 1,000 mile three-legged charity challenge for Children in Need.

Caroline Densley and Michael Chequer from BBC Radio Devon intend to cover 12.5 miles (20.12km) over the two-day challenge.

Chequer began in Bideford and Densley began in Exmouth earlier.

They will be walking each mile tied to a different person, including volunteers and staff from Children in Need-funded projects.

Open Door, Action East Devon, Taw and Torridge Voluntary Services and Home Start are among the organisations participating.

They face some adverse conditions with a yellow warning for wind and rain in force in parts of Devon until Wednesday morning.

Ahead of setting off on the challenge, Chequer said: “There’s part of me that wants to feel a bit smug because I’m aware that weather warning for wind and rain is for south Devon where Caroline is.

“I’m a little bit more sheltered here in north Devon.”

Densley, who started the challenge at Exmouth Lifeboat Station, said: “It’s quintessential Devon, it’s absolutely beautiful.

“I feel like when you go on a first date or have an exam and you get butterflies – that’s the feeling I have this morning.”
