An army veteran is set to ascend Cornwall’s highest peaks in aid of Bude Foodbank and the Samaritans.  

Lee Adams, from Boscastle, a decorated veteran with seven year’s service in the Royal Green Jackets covering tours in Afghanistan and Iraq, will climb Brown Willy in September.  

However, Mr Adams, a single parent, won’t be alone, as he will be carrying a sofa.  

The sofa was one which he had been confined to for 14 weeks after a surfing accident left him with a broken neck.
