Travel writer's bid to walk equator's length starts in Port St Mary - BBC​

A travel writer has set off on a 40,074 km (24,901 mile) round-the-world walk, starting on the Isle of Man.

Steven Primrose-Smith began the trek to travel the equator's length from his parents' home in Port St Mary.

The latest in a series of journeys undertaken by the 51-year-old is expected to take up to seven years.

The motivation for his latest challenge was to "raise as much money as possible" for the humanitarian charity Médecins Sans Frontières.
