the BBC» Steam train lover's marathon railway challenge
There have been plenty of memorable charity fundraisers during the lockdown - but one steam railway lover is taking it to a whole new level.
Ellis Morey is going to do 77 laps - 26 miles, or 41km - around a miniature railway on an hand-cranked train.
His challenge is to raise funds for heritage steam railways, as some fear closure due to the financial impact of the coronavirus crisis.
The 25-year-old's "uncomfortable yet unique" challenge will take nine hours.
Ellis, a 6ft 3in (1.9m) youth charity worker who also volunteers at three steam railways, will squeeze on to the old American child's hand crank on the miniature railway on Anglesey.
