A charity relay team has bagged all 130 Scottish mountains with a summit of 1km or more. The 130 mountains have also been named the Archies after the challengers raised more than £20,000 for The Archie Foundation. The feat was completed in a non-stop man-powered relay over 15 days. Read the full story in The Herald. And pdf. (PS That by-line pic is older than my freelance career!)
