Cameron, of Penrith, began his latest challenge setting off from the town monument at 6am last Sunday, heading down to Lowther Park, on to Askham and alongside Ullswater to Glenridding, before taking on the gruelling Kirkstone Pass on the track to Red Screes and descending to Troutbeck and on to Windermere.
