I can't afford a flight to Ibiza so I have to walk 2000 kilometers to get there so I can party with Wayne Lineker

A plasterer walks to Ibiza because he 'can't afford a flight' and has to trudge through a marathon every day for two months so he can party with Wayne Lineker at his beach club.

Henry Moores, 21, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, is desperate to visit the party island this summer and has planned an epic 1,200-mile walk through France and mainland Spain to get there.

The keen walker, who raised £20,000 for charity by walking 500 miles to Paris in October and November, is hoping to raise even more money with this adventure.

Harry messaged O Beach Ibiza owner Wayne Lineker on Instagram, promising that if he replied, he would put on his boots and hit the road – and to his surprise, the club mogul responded.

Lineker posted a video of the pair at his pad in London on Sunday, where he pledged his support for 'mad' Henry and promised to meet him in Ibiza to end the walk at his club.

In the video, Henry explained that he is taking on the challenge, which starts on March 2, because “he has never been to Ibiza and can't afford a flight.”

Despite planning to run the distance of 60 marathons in 60 days, Henry insists he will 'definitely have enough energy' to party when he crosses the finish line on May 2.

Henry plans to stay in a mix of hostels, B&Bs and campers during his trip and is currently looking for a sponsor to help cover costs.

He revealed that a number of family and friends have already booked tickets to meet him there, so he is feeling the pressure to complete the mammoth task.

Henry welcomed the fact that he won't have to pay for flights, luggage and hopefully accommodation for the trip.

He said: 'The flights, the luggage, the accommodation, the party – a lot of that should be done through the trip, rather than me having to pay for it.

'I thought I could walk to Ibiza and make a holiday of it, whilst raising money for charity and meeting Wayne Lineker.

“I contacted Wayne and went to his apartment, which was incredible. He put me in this position.

“I'll definitely have enough energy when I get there because everything goes out the window when you finish something like that.

'All the tiredness and everything is behind you, for at least one night I can leave it all behind me.

'Wayne has promised me a free opportunity and the rest hasn't been discussed yet. I don't want to say or expect too much, but I would like a free cocktail.

“Probably more than 15 friends and family have said, 'Yes, I'm coming,' and a few have said they've already booked it.

“They booked the bed, the tickets to Ocean Beach and the flights. It's exciting, but it comes with a lot of time pressure. I knew if I did something like that I would go to Ibiza.'

Henry plans to arrive in Ibiza the day before O Beach opens on May 3 and says Lineker plans to invite some famous friends.

He said he will release details on his TikTok account on how to donate to his soon-to-be-chosen charities
