A nine-year-old boy who has a prosthetic foot has completed the Three Peaks Challenge, scaling the tallest mountains in Wales, Scotland, and England in 22 hours and 30 minutes. Albie-Junior Thomas, from Hollywell, Flintshire, undertook the feat alongside his father, Daniel Thomas.

Thomas was born without a fibula in his left leg and had his foot amputated at 15 months old. Despite this, he previously became the youngest amputee to climb Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), Wales' highest peak, at the age of four. His father described him as a "superhero" during the recent challenge, which was powered by sandwiches, sweets, and four months of dedicated training.

This latest record attempt is pending official verification. The Three Peaks Challenge typically involves climbing the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike), and Wales (Yr Wyddfa), with the aim of completing it within 24 hours. The challenge requires significant physical endurance and often involves substantial travel time between the mountains.
