The challenge consisted of a 1.2mile open-water swim followed by a 56 mile road bike ride and then a run to the summit of Ben Nevis.

Ian completed the triathlon and finished in 20th position in an amazing four hours 47 minutes.

He raised £1,320 for the hospice and presented a cheque to Pendleside fund-raiser Jo Applegate.
