Police officer sets himself gruelling Med Steps charity challenge

Police officer sets himself gruelling Med Steps charity challenge Police officer Tony Gaul will climb Mediterranean Steps continuously during the daylight hours this weekend. Starting as early as the sun allows him to on Saturday December 19, Mr Gaul will make his first climb up the Med Steps, then walk down the roads to their starting point.
