A ROYAL Marine has climbed three mountains in one day — with a 30kg fridge on his back.

Cpl Sam Hammond even had a few beers stashed inside it for a celebratory drink at the end of his challenge.

The weapons instructor, 30, conquered the Welsh peaks of Pen Y Fan, Cadair Idris and Snowdon in just 22 hours and 57 minutes, raising almost £2,500 for the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team.

He said: “As far as I’m aware this has never been done with a fridge before.

"I wanted to figure out a way to do something that hadn't been done, but would also be good at gaining attention.

"I'm pretty good at carrying weight up hills and something in my mind reminded me of a man who ran a marathon with a fridge.

"So I merged the two together and thought I'd climb Snowdown with a fridge."

“The fridge rubbed my back quite badly. It doesn’t look in a good way to be honest.”

But Sam, of Redruth, Cornwall, is already eyeing up his next challenge — running a half marathon with the fridge.
