A Keswick dad who has multiple sclerosis has climbed Britain's tallest sea stacks for charity.

Duncan Booth, 45, of Manor Park, took on the Old Man of Hoy in Orkney on the north coast of Scotland in aid of the MS Society.

Duncan, who was diagnosed with the condition in 2010, raised £555 through the climb.

Since his diagnosis, he and wife Yvonne, 42, have raised almost £250,000 for the charity and the duo organise the popular 10in10 Challenge where hikers walk 10 peaks in 10 hours.

Duncan took on the 449-foot rock face with two friends and completed the challenge despite some tense moments along the way.

He said: "I haven't climbed properly since my diagnosis so this really was a huge challenge in so many ways for me.

"I am relieved that I have succeeded and it was incredible to stand on top of the Old Man.

"It wasn’t the easiest challenge to do with MS. The climb itself is just less than 450 feet, but you also have to think about getting there and back.

"I was thrilled when I got to the top."

Duncan and Yvonne have three sons, Xander, Jude and Leo.

This year's 10in10 event has raised nearly £80,000 for the charity.

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease which attacks the nervous system. Its symptoms include fatigue and sight loss.
