A bingo caller from Huyton is set to travel around the UK in 15 days.
Using as many forms of transport as possible, Mattie Parkinson will be setting off from his home in Huyton and travelling across Britain over the course of 15 days. The 30-year-old said the inspiration for the trip came back in 2020 when his dad bought him Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in Eighty Days.
Mattie's route will see him go from Liverpool to Carlisle, Oban, Thurso, Edinburgh, Grimsby, Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Clacton, Margate, Exmouth, Hayle, Barnstaple, Swansea, Bangor and back home within 15 days as he raises money for Macmillan. He told the ECHO: "On Tuesday I'll be starting from Liverpool and travelling around Britain.
