A team of five postmen from the Royal Mail delivery service in Caterham are walking the Cotswold Way National Trail later this year to raise money for St. Catherine's Hospice.

It will be the second time the posties are undertaking the gruelling 102-mile trail when they set off on the walk on the 3rd September. One of the intrepid posties, Dave Simmonds, said: "The walk normally takes 7- 10 days but we are going to try and complete it in five days because of the work commitments we have to get back to."

Last year they raised £12,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care and they hope to raise a similar amount this year.
