A NEW FOREST teacher is hoping to achieve one of the tallest orders of his life.

Andy 'Stilts' Walker - pictured on the left with pal Jonathan the Jester - who works at the Stagecoach Theatre Arts School in New Milton, plans to stilt-walk for ten hours through Southampton to raise money for the annual charity Children in Need.

As soon as it is light on November 15, Andy and Jonathan will begin their walk from the Saints ground to the city centre. Then they will catch a ferry to the Isle of Wight and as dusk falls they plan to return to the BBC television studios near the Civic Centre.

Andy hopes to raise at least £5,000.
