NORTH-EAST coastguards have taken part in a national walk for charity.
Members of Skinningrove Coastguards, in east Cleveland, were the latest to take part in a national coastal walk for coastguards that began at Land's End.
It is expected the walk, which will involve every coastguard team in the UK, will raise more than £13,000 for disabled charities.
The Skinningrove team, who had to walk some of the hardest terrain in the country on Saturday, took on the walk from Saltburn to Runswick Bay, on the North Yorkshire coast.
A Whitby team then took over the next leg of the walk.
Coastguard Paul Waugh said: "We have got some of the highest cliffs of any team in the whole of Britain.
"It is a hard slog but we have all been looking forward to it and it is for an excellent cause."
