By Lee Johnson Verified, Jim Scott Verified| BBC Verified A woman who started her own walking group after suffering from loneliness says it is like free "therapy". Amelia Dodd established Girls Who Walk Sunderland after moving from Stoke-on-Trent with her partner for work earlier this year. Nearly 50 people from Wearside met at Roker Beach for the group's first gathering on Saturday. She said she hoped to encourage more people of different ages and backgrounds to socialise.

By Jim Scott Verified, Lee Johnson Verified| BBC Verified A five-year-old boy is believed to have become the youngest to complete the near-200 mile Coast-to-Coast. Ollie completed the gruelling challenge from St Bees, Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire on Saturday. The boy, from Ashbrooke, Sunderland, wanted to raise money after witnessing a Great North Air Ambulance (GNAAS) helicopter rescue. "He's been absolutely incredible, he's been so determined," father Paul Sainthouse, who walked with him, said.
