‘Although I did have to do it with my mother and she snores.
‘Very inspiring that you are doing this and thinking of others at this time of year.’
Daniel said: ‘The challenge was pretty scary.
‘It was dark and noisy and although we were wrapped up warm, we were being buffeted by 50mph gusts of winds.’
