A teenage wheelchair user is hoping to complete the challenge of covering the 84-mile Hadrian's Wall trail.He set off on Friday and is raising funds for Ability Shetland which introduced him to the special mountain trike he is using.He began in Bowness-on-Solway, Cumbria, and hopes to complete the trail in 10 days.The path stretches coast-to-coast from Bowness-on-Solway to Wallsend in North Tyneside.

"I didn't need a wheelchair until I was about 10 or 11 - after that I just wasn't able to get out at all as I would always need someone to push the chair. "Now I have this mountain trike I have been able to visit places I didn't think I would be able to before." Brynn said the middle section of the route would likely be difficult when the group goes off-road and up a large section of hills.This 17yr old is determined to be the first!!
