A former England footballer is stopping off in Calderdale as she undertakes a mammoth charity run and cycle ride.

Jill Scott is tackling an extraordinary five-day, 395-mile journey across England in aid of Sports Relief, travelling from London’s Wembley Stadium to The Stadium of Light in Sunderland

She set off yesterday and is expected to reach Calderdale on Thursday where she will stop off briefly at The Stubbing Wharf pub in Hebden Bridge.

The pub has posted that Jill is expected to arrive at around 10am and will be there for around 30 minutes.

"We've also been told that another familiar celebrity will be accompanying her on the journey, so keep your eyes peeled!” the pub has added.

"This is a fantastic opportunity for the town of Hebden Bridge to come together and show support for the amazing challenge Jill is undertaking.

"We'd love to see as many of you as possible lining the streets outside the pub to give her a warm Yorkshire welcome and cheer her on as she continues her journey.

"To help ensure Jill and her team can arrive and depart safely, please note that our car park will be closed to the public for the duration of the visit.”
