A team of Cambridgeshire men have begun a 60-mile walk along Hadrian's Wall dressed as Roman soldiers.

On Sunday, the 13 men set off from Carlisle to walk the length of the wall in less than five days.

The team are members of the Roman Military Research Society and will wear full Roman uniform which weighs three-and-a-half stone.

The money raised will go towards research into cancers that affect men, at Cancer Research UK.
