An eight-year-old has conquered the highest peak in north Africa - after already becoming the youngest Briton to climb Mount Olympus.

Intrepid Frankie McMillan and his mum Basia McMillan scaled 4,160m-high (13,500ft) Toubkal.

Frankie from Gosforth, Cumbria, has been known for his treks - such as climbing the 214 Wainwrights and Scafell Pike the tallest peak in England - at the age of 4.

His latest trek saw him reach the 9,573ft (2,918m) summit of Mount Olympus on the September 2, 2023, with his mum - and he became the youngest Brit to ever to do so.

Now Frankie and his mum Basia, 40, set out to climb the highest peak in Africa Toubkal in October.
