Mountaineer breaks 'Britain hardest hike' record in memory of dad

A mountaineer has completed 'Britain's hardest hike' in record time in memory of his dad who passed away suddenly.

Paweł Cymbalista, from Mallaig, took on the gruelling 230-mile Cape Wrath Trail, which runs from Fort William to the most north westerly point of Scotland, unsupported and in a time of 86 hrs 49 minutes - beating the previous record by eight hours and 56 minutes.

Considered to be the toughest and most remote hike in Britain, the trail includes a combined ascent which is higher than Mount Everest.
