People in Bradford on Avon have gone the extra two miles for a pub charity challenge.
Owners of The Rising Sun have come up with a unique way of supporting Dorothy House - knitting a scarf that will stretch all the way from the pub to the hospice in Winsley.
Scarves have been sent in from schools, villagers and pub regulars, which have been joined together to form the giant piece of knitwear.
The challenge was the idea of one of the barmaids in the pub, and soon spiralled, with landlady Liz Northeast even receiving knitting from people in Cambridge and Scotland.
She said: "The idea has grown, and so many people are sending us scarves.
"Dorothy House is our pub charity, as it is local and something that is very close to our heart.
"This challenge is something that people who can't do sponsored cycle rides or parachute jumps can get involved in.
"I am so pleased with how well it is going."
The furthest a scarf has travelled is from Gibraltar, after a man visited the pub while his relative was receiving care at the hospice.
Mrs Northeast said: "This man who lived in Spain came into the pub and saw the poster.
"He was visiting a relative who was being looked after at Dorothy House.
"A while later I received a package from Gibraltar, he had asked a friend who lived there to knit a scarf and send it to me."
Peter Amoi, 69, heard about the challenge and decided to take part.
He knitted a scarf with The Rising Sun on it.
Mr Amoi said: "It took me about a month to do, and I am pleased with the end result.
"I like knitting, and so was keen to take part."
Children from Bitham Brook Primary School in Westbury learnt how to knit especially to take part in the challenge.
Deputy head Annie Brisland said: "I talked about the challenge in assembly, and a lot of children told me that they wanted to take part but didn't know how to knit.
"So I taught them, and they are very excited that their scarves will be part of the giant one."
So far the challenge has raised £1,000 for Dorothy House, and the scarf is almost complete.
It is hoped that the scarf will line the route to the hospice in July.
After the challenge the plan is to take the scarf apart and make it in to blankets for dogs at the Bath Cats and Dogs Home, and elderly people in nursing homes.
Dorothy House supports people with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
