teams of participants take on a total of 25 miles in four transparent plastic orbs, which they will use to travel from Keswick to Workington, the Times and Star reports.<\/p>\n<p>It is in aid of Help for Heroes and the volunteers hope to raise at least &pound;10,000 for the charity, which supports injured soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>Barry Hunton from Ling Beck in Seaton has assisted with the plans and says he was impressed by the plastic orbs.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;As soon as I saw it I said 'I'm going to have fun in that',&quot; he explains.<\/p>\n<p>The group all participated in a dummy-run of the challenge in the swimming pool at Workington Leisure Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Another expedition aiming to support injured soldiers is being taken on by ex-troops and Prince Harry, who are currently walking to the
