She said: "I'm in the middle of an expedition to try and fly around the whole coast of Britain in a paramotor because no one has done that before.

"There are changes happening to the planet but the message that I'm hoping to share is one of inspiration that there are plenty of solutions as well."

It is ahead of a major environment conference taking place later this year, and along the way, Sacha will meet people committed to a greener future.

In Morecambe she met school children, who are learning how responding to the climate crisis is a responsibility we can all shoulder together.
