There have been many varied and exotic challenges involving racecourses, but few will have had quite the same appeal to the anorak as Antony Lewis-Crosby's journey, which will come to an end at York on Sunday.

Lewis-Crosby embarked on his tour in August 2009, with the aim of visiting not only all of Britain's racecourses but all of Ireland's – and all in alphabetical order! Along the way, he has been raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, and he has now amassed more than £60,000.
