And she’s inviting those who are up for the challenge to dust off their hiking boots and join her.

Victoria (31) will join a team of over 100 people to climb Ben Nevis this September – raising £60,000 in sponsorship to support the NSPCC’s vital work with vulnerable children and families in Northern Ireland and across the UK.

Victoria said: “I had been looking to take on a challenge in 2013, so climbing the highest peak in the UK whilst bagging a few smaller Munro’s along the way in training seemed like the perfect choice.

“There really is no better motivation than raising funds for the NSPCC. I’m taking part with my friend Katie, and together we hope to raise £1,000 to help the charity continue its work to end cruelty to children.”

Registration is now open to anyone over the age of 18. Each participant will pay a £75 registration fee and is encouraged to raise at least £500 sponsorship.

The tour cost includes all transfers from Glasgow, accommodation in Fort William, meals and back-up support from experienced Discover Adventure leaders.
