A Cumbrian war veteran has completed yet another challenge culminating in him taking part in London's Remembrance Day parade.
Mark Harding, of Wigton, has completed a challenge of walking from Tebay in Cumbria to London.
He has raised money for two military charities, CFM Cash For Kids and Calderwood House in Egremont.
Mark has completed numerous challenges over recent years after he was severely injured whilst serving in the army.
Mr Harding said: "The walk went really well, we got five days of bad weather but I've always said there's never bad weather there's only bad kit. I was fortunate to have good equipment.
"I'm still waiting for some of the sponsors to put money into the pot but so far I've raised just over a grand for The Soldier's Charity and for Walking With The Wounded and CFM Cash For Kids I've raised around £250.
"Initially I only set the target for £100 so it's amazing to be able to raise so much.
"There's a sponsor in Essex who will be giving a large donation as I gave a talk at a school in Basildon. It is in the top five most deprived schools in the UK so I gave them a talk about what I'm doing and what I've done.
"Every step I was taking and completing a mile and another mile and heading down through the country was such an achievement.
"For me it's all about showing people what they are capable of doing if their mind is in the right place.
"For me I'm able to just switch off and focus on the task at hand which I've done for a number of my challenges."

Mark explained that it was very emotional being able to take part in the Remembrance Parade on Sunday.
He said that it gave him time to reflect and that it was powerful to see the other veterans there.
He explained that he saw another charity whilst there that supported the widows of veterans and it hit home as to why Remembrance Day is so important.
Whilst in London Mark visited a number of monuments and statues including; the Animals In War memorial, the Winston Churchill statue and the monument for the Iraq and Afghanistan conflict.
