Cliff, 85, takes on peaks

-

An 85-year-old rambler from Scarboroug­h will be taking on the infamous Yorkshire Three Peaks to raise vital funds for Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Cliff Coultas aims to complete the 24-mile route, with 1,585 metre ascent, along with his step-daughter Julie Kadis in 12 hours on Thursday

September 29.

The Yorkshire three peaks are Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside (Yorkshire’s highest peak) and Ingleborou­gh.

Mr Coultas said of the air ambulance: “I didn’t want to do the walk for nothing, they are such a worthy cause, and it is a pleasure to do this walk for them.”

In 2020, he and Julie walked the 250-mile Cleveland Way there and back again and raised more than £1,200 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. You can donate to the fundraiser at https:// www.facebook.com/ alongcamew­ellington. Mr Coultas believes his rambles keep him fit.
