Barry Jones licked his lips when he signed up for a Pie and a Pint challenge.
But he was unaware a 10k walk was also part of the East Cheshire Hospice event on Saturday, September 16, from 10 am.
Barry said: “I didn’t realise it was a walk – I thought it was just a pie and a pint, but never mind.
“I like a pint and enjoy a pie now and then. I play football occasionally and train my son’s team, but that’s about as energetic as I get.”

Barry works in the sales team at Cutler Cleaning Supplies Ltd which provides cleaning and janitorial products for the Hospice.
The Bollington-based company has also joined the 500 club which means it donates £500 to the charity each year.
Sales manager Madison O’Neill, who is a keen walker, will join Barry on the walk.
He said: “We support the Hospice as much as possible and regularly donate surplus stock.”
There are still spaces left in the walk, sponsored Holdcroft. To enter visit www.echospice.org.uk/pie-and-pint
The route starts and ends at Macclesfield Rugby Club, visiting Over Alderley, Mottram St Andrew, Prestbury and Dale Brow.
Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult or have written permission. Tickets include a non-alcoholic drink for those under age.
Walkers need to wear suitable clothing and footwear, preferably walking boots and waterproofs rather than trainers due to the challenging route. Entrants receive a pie and a pint at the finish.
