Cheshire plasterer to walk 1,200 miles to Ibiza
Posted: Friday, February 23rd, 2024
A plasterer is walking to Ibiza as he “can't afford a flight” - trudging a marathon a day for two months, Lincolnshire Live reported. Henry Moores is determined to visit the party island this summer, so he has planned an epic 1,200-mile hike through France and Spain. The 21-year-old messaged O Beach Ibiza owner and TV personality Wayne Lineker on Instagram pledging that if he replied, Moores would lace up his boots and set off - and to his surprise, the club tycoon responded. Lineker posted a video of the pair at his London pad where he pledged his support for “crazy” Moores and promised to meet him in Ibiza to end the walk at his club. In the clip, Moores explains he's taking on the challenge, which will begin on March 2, because “he's never been to Ibiza and can't afford a flight”. The avid walker, who raised £20,000 for charity by walking 500 miles to Paris in October and November hopes to raise even more on this adventure. Despite planning to complete 60 marathons in 60 days Henry insists he'll “have enough energy” to party when he reaches the finish line on May 2. He claims some family and friends have already booked to meet him so he's feeling the pressure to complete the mammoth task.
