Cyclist’s ‘Everesting’ Wass Bank challenge for late friend

A cyclist has said climbing a North Yorkshire hill more than 50 times – scaling the same height as Mount Everest – was a “fitting tribute” to his late friend.
Peter Smith, from Haxby, completed the 134-mile (215km) challenge in 21 and a half hours at Wass Bank, in the North York Moors near Helmsley, on Saturday (May 3).
