He's a Bugger of a Bagger

A Scottish postie has broken the record for completing all the Munros

Okay, really we just carried this so we could use the headline, a classic from The Angry Corrie, thanks guys. Meanwhile the story is that Charles Campbell, 30, a Glaswegian postie with a poor sense of direction has broken the record for completing all 284 Munros (mountains over 3000 feet) by knocking them off in 49 days, more than two days inside the previous record.

Not only that, Campbell cycled and swam the gaps between the mountains just in case things were too easy, and managed to damage an already weakened ankle for good measure. You can read the whole story here, but their headline isn't as good as ours...
