Wayne Dixon's remarkable quest has taken him through outlying parts of Scotland and along the coast of Wales with his dog.

The 45-year-old has clocked over 2,000 miles - walking between counties carrying a 60lb kit bag and living off £50 a week,

He carries a tent, sleeping bag, waterproofs, a stove and wind-up radio - and is accompanied by best friend Koda, a five-year-old Northern Inuit. Find out more about his mission in the video above.
