# Stuart Walks 60 Miles With Pudsey!
A team from BBC South East, featuring our very own Stuart Maisner completed a long-distance walk across Kent and Sussex for Children in Need.
The Pudsey pier to pier challenge [set off from Gravesend on Monday, November 14th 2022](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-63587319) at the start of a 61-mile journey.
The five-day event was part of a nationwide campaign to get people walking and raising funds for the charity.
After finishing at Eastbourne Pier on Friday, one of those who took part said it was an "unforgettable experience".
The team raised a total of £6,985 following the walk.

Stuart said: "The best bit has been meeting the public who lined the streets wishing us well and cheering us on." The team met school children, charity fundraisers and well-wishers on parts of the route - and faced severe weather on some days.
