WARRINGTON mountaineer Stuart Peacock, who has climbed the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, was married in a ceremony in the Lake District.
Stuart, son of Mrs Mavis Peacock, of Penketh, and the late Mr Allan Peacock, married Miss Kelly Weston, formerly 
of Sankey, daughter of Mr Barry Weston and Mrs Alex Bicker.
When Stuart lost his job as an electronics technician, he decided to sell his house to fund his first ascent Mount Everest.
After tackling some of the world’s highest mountains, he obtained a job as a mountain expedition leader.
In 2006 he climbed Everest for the second time, leading a team which included two 19-year-olds, the youngest British climbers to scale the world’s highest mountain.
By then he had climbed three of the world’s highest 14 peaks – Everest (29,035ft), Kanchenjunga (28,169ft) and Cho Oyu.
He said: “I had dreamed of getting a job in climbing,” he said, “but I never really expected the dream to come true – getting paid for doing what I love most. It opens up all sorts of possibilities.”
The wedding took place at Leighton Hall, Carnforth, with an evening reception at the Castle Green Hotel in Kendal. The couple honeymooned in Sharm, Egypt.
Best man was Craig Peacock, bridegroom’s brother and Matron of Honour was Mrs Lucy Weston-Small, bride’s sister. Bridesmaid’s were Louisa Bellis and Laura Bennett, and flower girl was Isla Peacock, bridegroom’s niece.
The couple have set up home in the Lake District. Kelly is a nursery nurse working in Kendal and Stuart is a logistics manager and expedition leader for Adventure Peaks in Ambleside.
