A British man has walked round the world to raise cash for worthy causes - and now he's reached Iceland. RÚV English Radio meets him.

Tom Fremantle is a man on a mission - to walk around the world.

The fifty-something Brit is making his way around the planet, on foot, to raise money for some very worthy causes.

Now, very near to his journey's end, he's reached Iceland.

Having been on the road (or pavement?) for literally years, with a chunky Covid-enforced break in at the start of the decade, Tom is walking from Blönduós to Seyðisfjörður, where he will ultimately sail back to the UK via Denmark, and end his epic journey.

Darren caught up with Tom and his walk support Matt Todd in Reykjavík last week, just after Tom's arrival in Iceland and before setting off on his walk through the country.
