He was on Hoy on Sunday to climb Ward Hill the highest hill on Orkney.
This was just one of the 92 'county tops' around England Wales Scotland
and Nothern Ireland.
You can read about his exploits at

He has just four more hills now to climb.
But he has lost his camera!! This is part of his last blog:-
"On a negative note I've lost my camera, somewhere on Orkney. Saying I'm
devastated would be a little melodramatic but I'm very very
disappointed.
Every photo that I've taken since I was in Northern Ireland is gone.
Some things bug you for a few minutes or 24 hours, but I know this will
still nag away in my mind in a year's time. I went to two police
stations, the ferry company and contacted the Orkney newspaper. No luck
yet, but the pace of life is so slow and there are so many islands that
it could take someone a week to hand it in. But how about this for
service? I know I last had the camera on an island called Hoy, obviously
a ferry ride from the mainland, but the police officer promised he would
get another officer to visit the very spot I last had the camera to
check the area. I know there's not much crime on Orkney but he went out
of his way to help."
I feel absolutely gutted for my son. Basically the camera holds photographs of 6 Northern Ireland Hills and about 20 hills in Scotland. Bearing in mind he has cycled between each and then walked up them it's quite a feat!
Radio Orkney very kindly put out something this morning on their local report, (with other lost and founds!!)
Hope it's found and returned. If it's anyone local who finds it I'm sure they'll do the decent thing.
Camera was found this morning........
