Spyke sets new record for climbing all the Munros
Starting on Sunday 25th April 2010 with Ben More on Mull, Stephen Pyke (aka Spyke) set himself the challenge of climbing all Scotland's 3,000 ft hills, better known as the Munros, in a continuous round under his own steam - on foot, by bike and paddling a kayak.
On 3rd June, just 39 days 9 hours and 6 minutes later, Spyke touched the summit cairn on Ben Hope in Sutherland to complete the fastest round of the Munros. The previous record was 48 days 12 hours set by Charlie Campbell in 2000.
Spyke is keen that his journey through the Highlands can inspire and encourage people to join the John Muir Trust – the UK’s leading wild lands charity. Please take time to read more about the JMT and even if you decide not to join you can support their valuable work by donating to the Trust at the following Just Giving Page.

Ankle is on the mend I see, Steve - glad to see you are back in support.Tim also joining you I think and if blog rumours are right your remaining Munros may have traffic jams of Munro Baggers on them.Pity the weather has been so nasty for you. Keep it up you are doing fantastically well.
Keeping going mate ... not long now ... really enjoyed coming up to give you moral support ... shame I was to slow and lardy to keep up ! Superb effort ... Cheers Al
Keep going Steve. What a monumental effort. After this you you will be able to redo them at a more leisurely pace.
