A man completed a trek up Ben Nevis despite temperatures reaching as low as -10°C.

Andy Goff, from Doulting, hiked up the UK's tallest mountain to raise money for Parkinson's UK and its Mendip branch.

The 60-year-old was inspired to do this by his sister-in-law Sandie, who has been living with the condition for 14 years.

He said: "The trek was amazing but very emotional.

"There was also a feeling of disbelief that I had actually made it to the top.

"In some strange way, the -10°C and snow only added to the experience - it almost made it more magical.

"It also came home to me why I had done it and it allowed me to have the moment I needed to think about my sister-in-law and her Parkinson’s."

Karen Safe, community fundraiser - West Country at Parkinson’s UK, said: "We are incredibly grateful for Andy’s dedication and hard work in raising funds for Parkinson’s UK.

"His inspiring trek up Ben Nevis not only will support people like Sandie but also helps raise awareness and support for the Parkinson’s community."
