A primary school teacher from Shaw who has climbed some of the world's tallest mountains, run ultra marathons in both the arctic and the Sahara Desert, and trekked through the jungles of Borneo to inspire his students has written a book about his adventures.
Steve Hill MBE, the deputy head at St Joseph's Roman Catholic Primary School, has been doing the incredibly difficult challenges for 13 years, raising over £100,000 for various charities along the way.
What started out as a way to show his pupils anything was possible as long as you worked hard enough has now become an annual adventure, with each one aiming to outdo the last.
