harity fundraiser Paul Waugh of Brotton has recently completed his


latest fundraising effort, by climbing Yorkshire’s highest three peaks on stilts! Last year, Paul completed several events on stilts, saying the reason for wearing stilts was to re-create the difficulties Britain’s members of the armed forces faced should they lose limbs in the line of duty. This is Paul’s own account of his latest ‘adventure.’ I climbed up Pen-y-Ghent first from Horton


in Ribblesdale where there is a big clock in the cafe and you can clock on when you start, so if anything happens and you don’t come back to clock off or get in touch they will send someone to look for you like the mountain rescue team. Pen-y-Ghent is 2277ft high and I have run


the three peaks before, but it seemed a bit rockier, probably with the rain. It was a hard slog up, but there was low cloud on all three peaks which made it cold and it was windy but on the top you couldn’t see a thing. I passed people as they were coming down


and they were looking at me and saying what the..? But once I’d explained what I was doing they were very supportive, saying they had never seen anything like it and never heard of anyone attempting the climb on stilts before. I was going to try and come back down on them but it was a bit slippery so I climbed the mountains, with them on and then ran back down and on to the next without them. Whernside is 2414ft high and it’s a long climb but they had added steps in places so it was a bit of a chew and I fell for the first time ever, flat on my face, but I was OK.after I’d had a bit of a cry ha ha...but got up and carried on. Once I was up in the cloud there was a bit of drizzle, it was very windy but it was also like


fog so I couldn’t find the trig point. I walked as far as I dared in the cloud, I was on the top of the peak but wanted to go to the trig point but made my way back down...once under the cloud it was clear. Inglebrough is 2372ft high. It’s a long walk


to get there but the scenery is lovely. On the top of all the peaks if the weather is clear you can see right over to Morecambe Bay. You have to walk over the fields and bogs but there are wooden walkways over the bogs and wet areas. Then you have to climb up a path which is very steep and the steepest of the lot is like a cliff face but there is a good path. I took my time and slowly zig zagged my way up into the cloud again. Some of the people I met here were the same ones I’d met on the other mountains and they were surprised I was still going. My legs were jelly on the way down because


the stilts are so heavy but once I made it back to the bottom of Inglebrorough I was over the moon.


Altogether it took about six hours and


as I clocked off at the café, the owner was gobsmacked that I had completed it. I told him that once I have my charity head on nothing stops me. I would like to thank everyone that sponsored


and supported me and Wimpey homes who sponsored me again. My charities are Breast cancer & Daisy chain a project that supports children with Autism and their families. Both are local charity’s and I’m hoping to have raised £500n for each one. My stilts are only made for stunts so me walking and running so many miles and now climbing rocky mountains has taken its toll on them and now they’re getting a bit rattly, but they did the job! Thank you again to everyone.
