BBC Radio Cymru presenter Aled Hughes is setting off on an 85-mile walk from Ceredigion to the Pembrokeshire coast in aid of Children in Need.

The broadcaster is attempting to complete the journey from Strata Florida, near Pontrhydfendigaid, to Poppit Sands near Cardigan in just five days.

Beginning on Monday, 9 November, the challenge will take him through the Teifi Valley before he aims to reach the coast on Friday, 13 November, the day of the annual BBC Children in Need appeal.

To complete the challenge on time, Hughes will need to average approximately 17 miles of walking each day.

The journey, titled Gwneud môr a mynydd, meaning Doing sea and mountain, will take him from the uplands of Ceredigion through Carmarthenshire and into Pembrokeshire.

Hughes said the route would be challenging at any time of year, particularly given the prospect of November weather.

He said: "The real challenge for us will be doing it all in five days, in the throes of November weather."

Listeners will be able to follow his progress throughout the week on BBC Radio Cymru and BBC Sounds.

The challenge is one of several being undertaken by BBC Cymru Wales presenters to raise money for Children in Need.

BBC Radio Wales presenter Aleighcia Scott will lead colleagues in a marathon-distance treadmill challenge, while Radio 2 presenter Owain Wyn Evans is attempting a 400-mile cycle across all four UK nations.

The fundraising efforts will culminate on Friday, when the annual appeal show is broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer.

Radio Cymru will also highlight contributions from schools and communities across Wales throughout the week.

Children in Need supports projects working with disadvantaged children and young people across the UK.
