An 82-year-old man said he is "ready and very excited" to scale the final peak in his mission to climb all of Scotland's Munros.
Nick Gardner has made headlines for setting himself the challenge to scale the country's 282 highest peaks since his wife Janet, 84, was moved into a care home after developing Alzheimer's disease and osteoporosis. The grandfather-of-four, from Gairloch, in the north-western Scottish Highlands, set off into the hills in July 2020 to begin his impressive feat.
