Ahead of Richard was Michelle Kelly, 44, from Abergavenny who began an incredible triple 'lap' Three Peaks Trial at 2:30am. Last year Michelle completed the walk then did something which was unprecedented in the long history of the Three Peaks Trial and did a second 'lap'!

A truly phenomenol achievement.
