Belfast man Noel Johnston has successfully completed his 1000 mile walk for charity.
The former Northern Ireland U19 walked around the coast of Ireland to raise funds for the Simon Community.
Noel set off on his journey from Belfast City Hall on March the 26th and slept in a tent most nights.
He walked around 25 miles every day camping, fundraising and connecting with people as he went.
He's been speaking to Q Radio's Bob Huggins:

Says Noel:" We have the power to affect change within our society when we work together and support each other, therefore I would like to have a positive impact in helping a cause close to my heart.
Simon Community NI have shown the way in helping provides homes and support to those in a vulnerable position within Norther Ireland. So I must help in any way I can".
Noel isn't sure how much funds have been raised by his undertaking but he's hoping to hit the £5000 mark.
The final total will be known in the next two weeks when all pledges have been followed up.
