People who rocked our month

he emailed me this year. Dani Arnold too, as he is fast. I met him too!

I’d love to climb Everest. Mont Blanc too, and maybe K2 – but I’m not sure, because it’s dangerous.

The thing I love most about the mountains is being in nature. It is also fun, challenging and makes you fit! I love climbing and spending time with my dad.

The funniest thing I’ve ever seen on the hill was when I was in Tower Gap with my dad and he had ‘gas’. It was so funny.

My favourite hill snack? Massive cakes for energy! Like chocolate log. My favourite meal after a big walk is 20 chicken nuggets, fries and a medium strawberry milkshake. I was so hungry after 12 hours on Tower Ridge I also ate half a chicken and mushroom pizza in Fort William!

I like to spend the night in the campervan with my dad, anywhere in the Highlands! The Signal Rock lay-by is great because I like it in the Clachaig Inn.

I do like hot tubs and jacuzzis and saunas… but wild camping and wild swimming still definitely wins!

My advice is to keep on trying and never give up.
