Emma Shipley and her Yorkie Talkies walking group
KEEN walker Emma Shipley has been encouraging people to get outdoors for their exercise in lockdown - and raise money for a good cause.
Marketing executive Emma, of York, has been setting virtual challenges for people to complete while raising money for the local Mountain Rescue team.
She set up Yorkie Talkies four years ago in which she leads guided walks for free - and built up 400 members from across the North of England to the group.
Unable to walk together under lockdown restrictions, Emma set them a series of individual challenges and they have raised more than £300 for Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue.
