A SCANTILY clad crusader is on a comeback trial with another charity trek from John O'Groats to Land's End via Mid Cheshire.

Michael Cullen aims to be in the area in his signature swimming trunks on Wednesday, January 27, and Thursday, January 28.

SpeedoMick, as he is known, had a fundraiser almost four years ago which he had said at the time would be 'The Final Stomp'.

'The Last Big Stomp' is a bid to bring in a million pounds for the fight against homelessness, poor mental health and poverty.

Extraordinarily Everest Base Camp is also on the agenda as well as the three peaks of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.

SpeedoMick said: "I swore black and blue I would never put myself through this again but here we are.

"This is going to be the biggest challenge of my life and I will be doing it all in my trusty blue Speedos."
