A five-year-old boy is believed to have become the youngest to complete the near-200 mile Coast-to-Coast.

Ollie completed the gruelling challenge from St Bees, Cumbria to Robin Hood 's Bay in North Yorkshire on Saturday.

The Boy , from Ashbrooke, Sunderland, wanted to raise money after witnessing a Great North Air Ambulance (GNAAS) Helicopter Rescue .

" He's been absolutely incredible, he's been so determined, " Father Paul Sainthouse, who walked with him, said.

Armed with a map, supplies, food, drink, and walking boots, the pair set off from the Starting Point on 18 August.

They had prepared to walk several hours A Day , while arranging to rest overnight at B& Bs and campsites along The Way .

Mr Sainthouse told The Bbc : " I've never had to prise him out of bed or anything. He's just wanted to crack on, he's so proud of himself, bless him.

" I thought it would be a struggle at The Beginning with the terrible weather but he has proved me wrong. "

Despite Storm Betty generating up 60mph (95kmh) winds and Heavy Rain in The First Three Days of The Walk , they managed to continue as scheduled.

They navigated through the Lake District , Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors before making their way to the Finish Line , where His Family - including mother, Rachel - had gathered.

" I can't tell you how proud I Am of him. He's absolutely unbelievable, " Mr Sainthouse said.

He Said it was important for young children to be outdoors, especially when it was sunny, which He Said had improved his own Mental Health .

" It is important for him to be outside, not behind a screen all day, not just talking to his friends online and to Get Out and explore The World .

" What A Day to finish on, it's just been glorious. "

Ollie's fundraiser has since raised More Than £2,000 for GNAAS surpassing his original target of £500.
