Amputee set for Kilimanjaro summit trek

A quadruple amputee is using a cutting-edge environmental chamber to prepare for a charity trek to the summit of Kilimanjaro.

Corinne Hutton is using the facility at the University of the West of Scotland to replicate extreme environments.

Ms Hutton founded the Finding Your Feet charity after losing both her hands and legs, below the knee, after suffering acute pneumonia and septicaemia.

She will set off on 29 September.

The chamber, is based at the university’s new £110m Lanarkshire campus in Blantyre.
