He told BBC News it had been "the best three years of my life" after he "only set out to have an adventure and raise £100".The teenager was officially confirmed as a Guinness World Record holder for the most money raised by campingHis mother Rachael said before his last night he had started contemplating packing up his sleeping bag since Christmas, and had decided "three years was enough and he wanted to focus on other things".
