A FATHER and daughter trekked almost 200 miles through Wales to raise nearly £2,000 for charity.

Advocate Chris Edwards, a partner at Mourant Ozanne, and his eight-year-old daughter, Imogene, completed the gruelling two-week, 180-mile journey on Tuesday.

The walk, which raised £1,800, was the realisation of a dream for Mr Edwards who had always wanted to attempt the route, which runs through parts of England and Wales.

The pair walked the trail of Offa’s Dyke, an earth-ditch built by Anglo-Saxon ruler King Offa to separate his kingdom and which roughly follows the border of England and Wales.
