The Northumberland Cricket Board coaches took on the Wicket to Wicket Coastal Walk, trekking the equivalent of a marathon from Bamburgh Castle Cricket Club along the coastal path to Alnmouth & Lesbury Cricket Club.

All money raised is being donated to the Northumberland County Youth Cricket Charitable Trust, which looks to support the development of the game especially in hard-to-reach areas of deprivation and for those with disabilities, and Macmillan Cancer Support.

More than £1,000 has been raised so far, but you can donate at http://tinyurl.com/j3rmxmu
