A blind walker who wanted to "inspire others" by hiking along the Cleveland Way has completed his trek.

Andrew Elliker-Reeve, from Beeford in East Yorkshire, said he challenged himself to live "life to the full" after losing his sight in 2020.

He has spent two weeks walking the 110-mile (177km) route across North Yorkshire with the help of volunteers.

The 64-year-old, who was raising money for Guide Dogs UK, said it showed sight loss "doesn't stop you doing things".
