 Listen to the item
A聽couple of weeks ago Mike Phipps and John Fairweather talked about completing their ultimate quests. John has been climbing Munros - the mountains of Scotland - for the past 48 years and was聽about to climb his last one, number 284. He was to be accompanied by his old friend Mike, who, a long time ago, set himself the challenge of sampling all the 122 different malt whiskies.聽At the summit Mike would share his last malt with John.聽
Last Monday, John's 60th birthday, they did it. They came along to the Home Truths studio explain how it went and how it feels to have done it all at last...
