John Martin treks from Whitby to Saltburn carrying a 6.5lbs (3kg) kettle bell.
An Army veteran has completed a 20-mile charity walk while carrying a 6.5lbs kettle bell to symbolise the burden of mental health challenges faced by many ex-soldiers.
The walk was also in memory of Mr Martin's best man, Sean Tansey, who died in Afghanistan 18 years ago when he was crushed by a vehicle. "The walk started off nicely then as we came out of Staithes our legs were starting to get a bit tired. "Towards the latter end, especially coming up Saltburn Bank, we were all starting to struggle and wanted to get into the pub and sit down."Mr Martin remembered his friend, Sean Tansey, by having a Jack Daniel's and Coke - his best man's favourite drink
