A PHOTOGRAPHER is celebrating after walking the entire length of the three peaks.

Drew Collins, 30, took on the unique more than 400 mile challenge across 24 days climbing the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales.

But not content with just climbing the mountains he decided to then trek onto the next by foot. 

It saw him hike from Ben Nevis, through the Lake District and Scafell Pike into Wales, ending the month-long trek at the foot of Mount Snowdon.

Drew, from Leaden Roding, admitted the challenge – named the Wild Peaks Walk- was even more difficult than he thought it would be.

He said: “I knew it would be a difficult challenge to tackle, but it was so much harder than I thought it would be.

“Mountains have been climbed, most trails have been hiked, I craved to do something bold yet unique. Wild Peaks Walk was the answer to that craving.

“I picked up a few injuries along the way and hit a few mental barriers, which really tested my will and strength to continue.

“The mental aspect of the walk was undoubtedly the hardest part; it’s very easy to just stare at your feet as each foot passes the other and forget to take in the beautiful surrounding landscapes.

“I had a few near misses including being chased by a particularly angry bull, but overall music played a huge part in keeping me motivated along the way.

“Ultimately, I found the energy reserves to push on. I continued through the physical and mental pain, which helped me see what is truly possible.”

Drew took on the challenge after winning FUEL10K’s Fuel Your Journey competition. The prize was a supply of a month’s worth of free products.
