A plasterer is walking to Ibiza because he ‘can’t afford a flight’ – trudging a marathon a 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 hike through France and mainland Spain to get there.
The avid walker, who raised £20,000 for charity by walking 500 miles to Paris in October and November, hopes to raise even more on this adventure.
Harry messaged O Beach Ibiza owner Wayne Lineker on Instagram pledging that if he replied, he would then lace up his boots and he’d set off – and to his surprise the club tycoon responded.
Lineker posted a video of the pair at his London pad on Sunday where he pledged his support for ‘crazy’ Henry and promised to meet him in Ibiza to end the walk at his club.

In the clip Henry explained he’s taking on the challenge, which will begin on March 2nd, because ‘he’s never been to Ibiza and can’t afford a flight’.
Despite planning to walk the distance of 60 marathons in 60 days Henry insists he’ll ‘definitely have enough energy’ to party when he reaches the finish line on May 2.
Henry plans to the stay in a mixture of hostels, B&Bs and campervans during his journey and he’s currently looking for a sponsor to cover the costs.
He revealed some family and friends have already booked tickets to meet him there so he’s feeling the pressure to complete the mammoth task.
Henry welcomed the fact that he won’t have to pay for flights, baggage and hopefully accommodation for the trip.
He said: ‘The flights, the baggage, the accommodation, the party – a lot of that should funnel through the trip instead of me having to go and pay for it.
‘I thought I could walk to Ibiza and get a holiday out of it while raising money for charity and meeting Wayne Lineker.
‘I got in touch with Wayne and I went to his apartment which was unbelievable. He got me into this position.

‘I will definitely have enough energy when I get there because everything goes out the window when you finish something like that.
‘All the fatigue and everything gets behind you, for at least one night I can put it all behind me.
‘Wayne has promised me a free shot 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 “Yeah, I’m coming” and a few have said they have already booked it.
‘They’ve booked the bed, the tickets to Ocean Beach and the flights. It is exciting but it adds a lot of time pressure. I knew if I did something like this I would be going to Ibiza.’
Henry plans to arrive in Ibiza the day before the opening of O Beach on 3rd May and says Lineker plans to invite some celebrity friends.
He said he’ll be releasing details on how to donate to his soon-to-be-chosen charities on his TikTok account
