Story summary

A three-year-old named Navy Moores from Kendal, Cumbria, has become the youngest known person to hike all 214 peaks in Wainwright’s Lake District guides. Over five months, he covered a total distance of 510 miles, with an ascent totaling almost 225,000 feet—equivalent to climbing more than seven Mount Everests. Navy completed his final peak, Scafell Pike, on Sunday without the traditional celebratory Kendal mint cake and beer; instead, he requested a Nutella-covered pancake, followed by a bike ride and an episode of *Paw Patrol*. Throughout the hikes, Navy was accompanied by his family: father Daniel, mother Leanne Helm, 14-year-old sister Jessica, and six-year-old brother Oliver. His father, a businessman who has climbed Mount Everest and cycled around the world, encouraged Navy’s adventurous spirit from an early age.
