An adventurer is on a mission to become the first Black Englishman to reach the summit of Mount Everest.
Deon Barrett, 31, will take on the feat during Black History Month in a bid to encourage more Black people to embrace the great outdoors.
To prepare for the epic challenge – branded the True North Project – Deon has scaled 12 mountains across the UK in just four days, covering almost 55 miles, climbing 21,087ft and battling winds of 75mph as well as sleet and snow.
