Spyke breaks Munro record

Ben Hope

Congratulations are due to Stephen Pyke – or Spyke – who has completed his record-breaking run over all the Munros. Just thirty nine days and nine hours after heading up Ben More on Mull, Spyke has successfully climbed the final Munro, Ben Hope, to break the record for climbing all the Munros in the fastest time by nine days. The previous record – 48 days 12 hours – was held by Charlie Campbell, who arranged for a celebratory message and a bottle of whisky to be awaiting Spyke on the final summit.

Stephen was running the round to raise funds for the John Muir Trust. You can sponsor his amazing effort – and help a worthy cause – at his justgiving page.
