Flint, age 8, loves trail running and hiking and is passionate about wildlife and the environment. On his summer holiday, he will attempt to run up Galloway's highest corbett mountain, Merrick, and Cairnsmore of Fleet on to the Clints of Drommore, finishing at the Big Water of Fleet Viaduct.. This will total an approximate distance of 30km, and an elevation of roughly 1,575 m. He hopes to complete this within 12 hours. He will be accompanied by his mum.

Flint has chosen the Operation Ocelot project, a fantastic project organised by the World Land Trust.

World Land Trust protects the world's most biologically significant and threatened habitats acre by acre.

Through a network of partner organisations around the world, WLT funds the creation of reserves and provides permanent protection for habitats and wildlife.

Partnerships are developed with established and highly respected local organisations who engage support and commitment among the local community.
