A BRITISH Army Reserve officer is in the middle of an incredible journey from Cyprus to the UK, in the hope of raising much needed cash for a forces charity.
Captain Ed Lloyd Owen, 34, kicked off the 2,800-mile journey from Nicosia to London on foot in March and is now in the Alps.
His epic journey is taking him through nine countries including Italy and France.
'Whilst I was on operations with the 2 Mercian Battlegroup in Cyprus, we were looking at a map of Europe one day when someone remarked how amazing it would be to walk home - a once in a lifetime experience,' Capt Lloyd Owen said.
'A light-bulb moment occurred and once I started thinking about it, I couldn't stop and so I decided to attempt it, and raise much-needed funds for the splendid military charity Walking With The Wounded in the process.'
