TEACHER'S wife Chris Glover plans to walk part of the coast-to- coast route to raise money for the junior department at Polam Hall School, in Darlington.

She began walking when her son, Nathan, decided to raise money for Darlington Gym Club, in Eastbourne School, by completing the Great Glen Way, a 73-mile hike from Fort William to Inverness, in Scotland. Mrs Glover kept him company during training walks, then the pair learned that half the coast-to-coast route was the same distance as the Great Glen Way.

The pair will start in Richmond and walk the 73 miles to Robin Hood's Bay on the North Yorkshire coast over four days to riase money for Polam Hall School, where her husband teaches.
