This has been quite big news in the UK as "Speedo Mick" nears the end of his 1,000 mile journey. Fair play to the man - has raised a great deal for charity bringing a smile and a laugh with it!
"He has faced temperatures of -6C (21F), walked injured through torrential rain and battled on through storms Ciara and Dennis – all in just a pair of skimpy swimming trunks.
On Saturday Michael Cullen, otherwise known as Speedo Mick, will reach the end of a 1,000-mile walk for charity that has been as punctuated with cheers and good wishes as it has bad weather.
As a lifelong Everton fan who walks in club-branded swimming trunks and scarf, the 55-year-old has arguably suffered enough, but he says the gruelling walk has been the greatest challenge of his life.
“I walked through Glastonbury during Storm Ciara and it was nearly blowing me knickers off, which wouldn’t have been a good sight for anyone,” he said. “The cold is really mentally challenging. I’m not really dressed for it, I’m basically walking through the dead of winter in a pair of shreddies.”"

Re: Speedo Mick
Yeah, maybe so, but Speedos are so dodgy man and I'm surprised that this sort of swimming apparel hasn't fallen victim to the feminist Nazis and the general thought police that rule everything now.
