THE MISSION: WHY I’M CLIMBING
The Debt of Gratitude
almost Four years ago, my daughter was stillborn at Royal Preston Hospital. In the hardest week of my life, the staff and the facilities funded by Baby Beat gave me something I can never repay: Time. Because of their specialist bereavement suites, I was able to stay with my daughter for a full week. Those seven days are the only memories I have, and I’m climbing to ensure the next family facing the unthinkable gets that same precious time to say goodbye.
The Challenge:
120 Munros in 60 Days I’m not a professional athlete or a full-time hiker. I’m a bloke form Preston . This mission is about my daughter and giving back to the local maternity and neonatal units that looked after us.
The Goal
100% of your donations go directly to Baby Beat (Charity No.). Every penny helps fund the specialist equipment and care that supports local families at Royal Preston when they need it most.
15 months 4 seasons no excuses
The Standard To survive 120 Munros in 60 days, I cannot just be "fit." I have to be mountain-hardened. That is why every single training peak in this phase must sit above 914.4 meters (3,000ft). There are no easy routes and no shortcuts.
Scotland in 2027 will throw everything at me—snow, gale-force winds, and blistering heat.
To prepare, I am summiting England’s highest peaks in every season:
• WINTER: Mastering sub-zero survival.
• SPRING: Navigating the thaw and technical wet-rock scrambling.
• SUMMER: Building speed and heat endurance for back-to-back days.
• AUTUMN: Sharpening my navigation in low-visibility mist and bog.
The Reality This training doesn't happen on a "rest day." Every summit is bagged on a Sunday after 6 days on the tools. While others are recovering from the work week, I am on the peaks building the mental and physical resilience needed for the mission.
THE ROAD TO SCOTLAND: NO DAYS OFF
Helvellyn was the start of this 15-month training phase, and Skiddaw (931m) is the next target. This is my weekly reality between now and June 2027. Every Sunday, after 6 days on the tools, I will be back on these 914m+ peaks. As my endurance builds, I’ll be ramping up the intensity—bagging two of these massive peaks in a single day toward the end of the phase.
This is about conditioning my body for the ultimate test. As soon as this 15-month training is complete, I am heading straight to Scotland to begin the 120 Munros in 60 days back-to-back. No transition and no breaks—just the culmination of over a year of discipline for Baby Beat. The road to 2027 starts here.
