‘The Maverick’ Russell loves a challenge
At 96, Logan Campbell resident Russell Parrish has achieved an incredible feat - ‘knocking off’ the summit of One Tree Hill 30 times over 30 consecutive days. Plus, it was all for a great cause — raising money and awareness for Alzheimer’s in honor of his late wife Mary.
Every single day of September, come rain, shine or blustering gale, Russell set off from his home at Ryman Healthcare’s Greenlane village to walk to the top of the iconic mountain set in the heart of Cornwall Park.
The idea also coincided with Ryman Healthcare’s annual Walking for Wellness challenge, which this year aptly had an Everest theme.

Decks decks Ashton building .
Decks and structures need maintenance. Just because it stood up to the Christmas crowd is no guarantee it is safe. It's common to see bolts and fixings that have corroded to toothpick thickness or timber that is rotten to the centre . You can wait until something collapses ( the hope method ) or get it checked .contact Pete Ashton 7 days 0274403242.
