Dad who suffered heart attack while climbing Ben Nevis finally conquers peak alongside woman who saved his life

A dad has finally conquered Ben Nevis alongside the woman who saved his life after he suffered a heart attack on his first attempt.

Trevor Botwood was climbing the mountain - the UK's highest - with his sister Irene Metcalfe in August 2020. But roughly halfway up he collapsed due to a heart attack - just when physiotherapist Courtney Ferguson was descending.

She performed CPR until emergency workers, who arrived by helicopter, took over. Bricklayer Trevor, 63, was then rushed to hospital, where he was fitted with three stents.
