EDDIE the Eagle Edwards jumped at the chance to start a charity's sponsored walk.
The Woodchester plasterer, who famously came last in the ski jumping at the 1988 Calgary Olympics, will launch the Horsfall House 10-mile sponsored walk in Minchinhampton on Sunday.
Eddie, who in February won ITV's celebrity high-board diving show Splash!, will urge the walkers forward as they begin their trek around Gatcombe Park and Avening Court at 10am from the National Trust field near Horsfall.
The section of the walk through Gatcombe Woods is with permission from the Princess Royal.
