Way back in 2021 I thought I would make my dream to stand above 8000m a reality, and I'm now just a matter of months away from embarking on an expedition to try and make that happen. Over the last few years I've been continually training, ticking off big goals such as the Bob Graham Round, Lakes, Meres & Waters or the Fred Whitton Cycle Route as I've gone. Coming into 2024 I realised I was lacking a mid-term goal to act as a stepping stone for my physical and mental mindset - and so MLV's 24 Hours was born. 

​What is the challenge?

The concept is simple - I will set off on a route I've devised with the mission to bag as many peaks as I can in 24 hours. This is similar to the Lakeland 24 Hour record and the Bob Graham Round, but with less constraints and pressure. There will be no requirement to get back to the start point, and the total number of peaks gained by the time 24 hours is hit is the final figure. Classified peaks will need to be Wainwright summits.
