Speedo Mick makes it to the top of Ben Nevis in just his swimming trunks

Speedo Mick has made it to the top of Ben Nevis wearing only his swimming trunks. Fundraiser Michael Cullen has been walking the length and breadth of Britain to raise money for charity.

The 58-year-old reached the summit of the Scottish mountain - the UK's highest - at 2pm on Monday (January 16). He completed the five-hour climb wearing his signature blue Speedos.

Mick, from Liverpool, said: “I reached the top about 2pm yesterday, I climbed it in five hours, which I thought was pretty good going. It was minus three at the bottom at minus 18 at the top with the wind chill.
