Speedo Mick finishes 1,000-mile walk in his swimming trunks at Land’s End
He has raised more than £320,000 for Leave The Light On, which works with disadvantaged children.
A man who vowed to walk the length of the UK in a pair of speedos has reached the finish line at Land’s End.
Mick Cullen, known as Speedo Mick braved the wind, rain and storms Ciara and Dennis after beginning at John O’Groats in December.
He has raised more than £320,000 for Leave The Light On — a community interest company that works with disadvantaged people.
He wrote on Facebook: “Well that was a bit of a Hollywood finale, wasn’t it?
“Thank You so much for all your support over these last two and a half months.
“We blew our target over to France today and it is still rising, just under £320 thousand, we are at now.
The Liverpudlian is famous for attending English Premier League football matches in just his swimsuit.
He first earned the nickname Speedo Mick after swimming the English Channel for charity in his trunks five years ago – then turning up to Everton’s Goodison Park ground in the same outfit to raise money.
“The wind is whipping my back, and it feels like I am getting flogged.”
He suffered a calf injury and was advised to rest for a week when he was halfway through his walk.
