High time: Granton Primary School pupil Sophie Harris climbed and descended 1,343m Ben Nevis for charity
An eight-year-old from Streatham Vale raised £2,000 for charity by scaling Britain’s highest peak.
Granton Primary School pupil Sophie Harris climbed and descended 1,343m Ben Nevis in an impressive nine hours on August 21 with her uncle Daniel Clark, 37.
The Abercain Road resident raised funds through friends, family, and teachers for the Shooting Star Children's Hospice, and the National Society for Epilepsy.
Her grandmother, who suffers from epilepsy, said: “I’m really proud of her.”
Sophie is now set to climb Machu Picchu in Peru, when she is 10, and has her heart set on one day scaling Kilimanjaro and Everest.
