Sam Brunswick chose to support three charities in his epic four-month challenge.
A man has raised over £2,000 for charity after a monumental hillwalking challenge which saw him attempt to scale every Munro, Munro Top and Island Corbett in Scotland over the course of four months.
Sam was born in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, and grew up in Portincaple, Argyll and Bute, before moving south to Lincolnshire at the age of 11. Speaking to Scottish Mountain Rescue shortly after completing his challenge, Sam said: "The teams in Scotland are another kettle of fish in my opinion, it’s a beautifully brutal place at times and the teams are real heroes for going out in all weathers to do their best.
He settled on aiming to complete the Munros, Munro Tops and Island Corbetts, totalling 519 peaks. His original plan was to do them all in one go, but struggled to stay on schedule due to poor weather. Despite this, he finished as a "Munroist" and "Topist". Traversing the Fisherfield Six, Scotland's most remote hills, was his biggest mental challenge, with poor conditions including thigh-deep snow.
