An adrenaline junkie has travelled 500 miles from the most easterly point of Britain to the west on a stunt scooter.

Harry Jones, 25, embarked on the mission from Ness Point in Lowestoft, Suffolk to Land's End in Cornwall, UK to raise thousands of pounds for suicide prevention charity CALM.

Mr Jones, from Lowestoft, Suffolk, set off on the challenge, using a modified stun scooter, on the morning of April 3 and finished on April 13.

He travelled through cities and counties such as Ipswich, Colchester, London, Penzance, Devon and Somerset.

00:00I live in the most easterly point in England.
00:02I've always wondered what it would be like to scooter across the whole country to land's end.
00:06Should I do it?
00:08Okay!
00:30Today I will finish my 11 day journey scootering 500 miles from England's most easterly point to the most westerly.
00:42I realised that this was the last time in my journey of adding electrolytes to my water.
00:46Last time putting on my compression gloves.
00:48Last time putting on the hivers.
00:49I grabbed my scooter and realised my bearings were getting stiff from the heavy rain from yesterday.
00:53Bye bye cat.
00:54I head out down this colourful narrow road and reflected on my journey by the sea at Penzance beach.
00:58Maybe I should take this electric bike instead.
01:00I can't believe I found a skate park right next to the sea.
01:03What a great location for it.
01:04Had my morning coffee and muffin and then started my last scooter ride of the trip.
01:07I was getting really nervous that this challenge was actually coming to an end after so much hard work put into it.
01:12It then started raining but I didn't really care because I was almost there.
01:15The rain started getting heavy but this was the last test to see if I'm really capable of completing this challenge.
01:20But I've gained so much self-trust now that I know I can make it.
01:23I finally saw some blue sky and realised I had 7 miles left from this 500 mile trip.
01:28And then I can't believe this happened to me.
01:30Perfect timing.
01:31I just had to laugh it off really.
01:32Quick Red Bull break and now I was so so close.
01:35And just like that Land's End was in my sight.
01:37Of course the last stretch was stony and couldn't scooter on it.
01:40But I didn't care.
01:41My shoelace got untied for the first time in the trip.
01:43How poetic.
01:44I just kept running with my skewer and Land's End welcome.
01:47I felt sad and relieved that this was just moments away from coming to an end.
01:50And just like that.
01:51500 miles.
01:5211 days.
01:53Meeting amazing people.
01:54And raising thousands for the good cause of mental health.
01:57I have completed the challenge.
01:58I can't wait to share it with everyone on YouTube.
02:01I love you all and thanks so much for the support.
02:03That's a good one.
