They call it the Walk on Wales - a trek by soldiers, families and friends - hundreds of miles around our coastline. The final destination is back in Cardiff with - they hope - a million pounds raised for forces' charities.
Today they set off from Chester on the North Wales leg of the tour - a platoon of walkers with t-shirts and sponsorship forms.
