Mountain man: Annalong's Harry Teggarty on his epic 100 mountain challenge and the Mourne Mountain Rescue Team

When my alarm goes off at 6am, I get up and have a quick wash and shave. The dogs are waiting to go on their first walk of the day along the Annalong coastal path to the Springwell. This also gives me a head start with 5,000 steps to get me going for the day ahead.

Usually, I'll have a quick breakfast – either orange or cranberry juice followed by Frosties and muesli.

At work, I have a packed lunch of sandwiches, fruit, buns, pavlova or tart and yoghurt.

Dinner is usually potatoes, vegetables and meat – depending on what the 'chef' provides...

Nutrition is very important as I usually burn between 2,500 and 3,000 calories daily – and, if running on the mountain, an extra 500 calories per hour. I don't take supplements, as we eat healthily.

I never really need to diet, as I usually stay at around 70 kilos, although my workmates reckon I should be heavier because I do have a sweet tooth.

The weekends at this time of year can be busy for the Mountain Rescue Team. Only this past weekend we had two call-outs and occasionally there are more than that. However, it's great to be able to help people. I only work Monday to Thursday so, on a Friday, we try to take ourselves and the dogs for a good walk to the Silent Valley, Mourne Park or Yellow River area. On Saturday mornings, my good friend Stewart and I run the mountains and Saturday evenings we either treat ourselves or have a nice steak at home.

I feel it is very important to try to keep active and as fit as you can be. I am very lucky to have a shared interest with Stewart and we run at least three times a week. We either run the forest trails or the mountains, depending on our training schedule at the time. On the mountains or trails, you need to keep focused and watch for any obstacles on the way. My running keeps me mentally alert.

The best tip I can give for everyday fitness is to just do something, whether that is running, biking, walking or swimming with like-minded people so everyone can encourage each other to keep going.

I always liked PE. In high school we were allocated a 'house' and mine was 'Donard'. Unfortunately, I never contributed many points on sports day.

I had to think about this one because it must be almost 50 years since I had a Tennent's lager when I was a fisherman, so although I'm not too fond of a tea, I would say teetotal.

I think that anybody who knows me would know the answer to this question...

I am not a bookworm, unlike my wife who can read a book, watch TV and knit at the same time. However, I am currently reading JC Ryle's Expository Thoughts On The Gospels which I am finding uplifting and encouraging.

My TV viewing would be David Attenborough or documentaries or a good comedy.

The pandemic didn't really have a big impact on my life, other than missing my daughters and my wee granddaughter. I lead a very quiet family life, anyway. Thankfully, I was still able to pursue my running on the mountains or trails, keeping myself isolated at all times.

Well, as a volunteer with the Mountain Rescue Team, we are always training and learning new skills to deal with the various situations we come across. My other hobby is photography and learning how to capture scenery shots. I enjoy sharing these on Facebook, showing off the beauty and wildlife in our area. Also, at work, I make all sorts of blinds. We are always learning the different techniques regarding new blinds on the market.

I asked my wife this question and the answer was: 'I don't know; I've never witnessed you relaxing - and you don't let me relax either.'

It was practising for my 100-mountain challenge in June. But now, who knows?

I try to get to bed before midnight, if possible. Apparently, I jump, snore and kick all night. However, I do get a good night's sleep – not so sure about my wife, though, if all she says is true.

I found this the easiest question; I live in a beautiful place where we see God's handiwork all around us. I enjoy my family and mountain-time and I have to say I have no regrets or gripes.

My own priorities in life were to be happy and content with what I had and I must say this hasn't changed. I am very happy and thankful for all the blessings I have been granted in my life.

Coronavirus and leukaemia have probably made me think about my own mortality, but as one who has put their trust in the Lord Jesus, I believe God is in complete control of my life and I am very grateful for all that I have.
