#WALK1000MILES2018 I VERY INSPIRING PERSON: JAMES FORREST ‘My last mountain was Scafell Pike and I miraculously had the summit to myself’ Amazing 34-year-old Cockermouth writer James Forrest hit his 1000 miles in six months – taking in every mountain in England and Wales on the way. ’D OWNED THE guidebooks to the 444 Nuttalls – hills in England and Wales over 2000ft – for quite a few years, but only done a few of the walks. Then one day, the idea struck me of an intensive challenge to tick them all off in one summer – faster than anyone else had. My main aims were quite simple: to explore the wild landscapes of Britain I’d never been to before; to indulge in my love of the mountains; and to prove you can fit at least one crazy, epic adventure into your everyday life. The brilliant #walk1000miles community gave me the confidence to know I wasn’t alone in doing similar things. Above: 446 mountains in his wife’s old hiking boots! I became obsessed, a man on a mission that would take me 82 days of walking over a six-month period, meaning I spent virtually every spare day away from work climbing mountains. It was manic – but the adventure of a lifetime too. My longest day was summiting 13 peaks in the Berwyn mountains in North Wales (I don’t know how I did this on the energy-sapping, heatherclad slopes of the Berwyns) and my toughest overall section was climbing 86 peaks in Snowdonia in a gruelling 14-day hike in August. The one factor that helped me climb the mountains so quickly was wild camping. I often went out on mini expeditions for four, five or six days at a time, wild camping under the stars – a magical way to have a more intimate interaction with the mountains) and thus I avoided long walksout back to my car and I woke every morning in the midst of the action, ready to summit that next peak. I averaged approximately 13.5 miles per Above: The final summit – James completes his challenge on Scafell Pike. 38 WALK 1000 MILES 2018
