The summit video and final chapter...

Well, the video of 3 summits..
Making this 15 minute video was the final chapter of something I wish I could do again. Months and months of planning, a lot of time, and quite a bit of money spent- were all worth it. The event couldn't have gone smoother, well we got lost at Brackenclose, and at Fort William, and I got lost on Scafell Pike briefly, yet still finished 32 mins faster than I had planned and still came in as 'silver!. The video took me a while but the result was pleasing. It tells the story better than my text updates or blog posts (which I hope you enjoyed reading by the way as they took a while and reduced my sleeping time throughout the event!). I've already thanked so many people and it's been amazing to have such support. People really want to support youngsters nowadays and so many people have said to me- 'I wish more 16 year olds were like you' which is really moving. Having people and beep at me and shout 'well done!!!' out of their cars in the street is also amazing. It brought a huge smile to my face everytime. The moment when I RAN over the finish with my walking pole thrust into the air, Foo Fighters' Everlong playing loud in the headphones and then walking through the Miners Track gate, shouting 'Booyaka!' and stopping the stopwatch at 21 hours 57 minutes was the happiest moment of my entire life. The acheivement and adrenalin rushed over me.

So yeah, the video is here below, with some of my appropriately chosen favourite music which also accompanied us on the trip, apart from Benny Hill, I hope you enjoy watching it and please leave a comment. As for donations I'm just below £1700 now which is £700 more than I was aiming for!!!! WOW! Thanks so much! I really appreciate it and you're all awesome. I still don't know who donated £50 anonymously but please let me know so I can say a huge thankyou! It's not too late to boost my totals on my fundraising page, or in person, and I'm still collecting off a few family and local people.

Keep tuned for my next project- a slightly bigger and colder Mont Blanc in August next year, where I'll be climbing the highest mountain in Europe at 4800m, with legendary 9-times Everest Summiteer Kenton Cool 1:1 in just 5 days.

Over and out- Living the Dream...
