A wildlife lover walking 25 marathons over 25 days in a tiger suit has completed day two.

Photographer and conservationist Paul Goldstein, 62, is trekking from Tigerton in Scotland to Tiger Bay in Wales.

Monday (11 Aug) saw him journeying from Carnoustie to the fabled 18th hole of St Andrews, taking time to pose on the golf course's iconic small stone bridge.

Describing himself as "sore but sound", Paul said: "I may have been hurting on the Swilcan Bridge after a very hot few hours, but I always think what so many four legged creatures are going through."

The charity challenge, dubbed 2LegsFor4, follows Wimbledon-based Paul's remarkable long-distance runs in his distinctive tiger outfit at locations including Kilimanjaro, and at one of the highest and hardest in the world, the Everest Marathon.

The event will see Paul walking over 1,000 kilometres to raise awareness of the plight of all four-legged creatures. Over the past decade, his tiger suit has helped him raise nearly £500,000 for Bengal tiger conservation.

Anyone can take part by signing up on the event website and then choosing one or more stages to join Paul as he makes his way down through Scotland and on to Wales.

Those interested in joining Paul can register for one or more days at 2LegsFor4.co.uk
