A man from Mold in North Wales has climbed the same mountain 1500 - yep, that's one thousand five hundred - times for charity.

David Snowdon-Jones from Mold first climbed Moel Famau, at 554 metres the highest mountain in the Clywdian Range back in 1995, some 12 years later, he topped out on the mountain for the 1500th and final time.

David took on the challenge to raise money for the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation and so far has totalled more than £40,000.
