An injury and the death of Queen Elizabeth II delayed the final leg in climbing the highest peak in the UK.Determined to complete the trek, having delayed in September 2022 out of respect to the Royal Family, Ms Volovyk set off on the King's Coronation day to finish the last gruelling 200 miles . "I, and many other Ukrainians, have dealt with significant trauma in dealing with the war that Russia started in March last year," she said.
Ms Volovyk finally climbed to the summit of Ben Nevis in Scotland on Tuesday in deep fog, high winds and in more than a foot of snow and freezing temperatures.
