49-year-old Englishman Stuart Kettell is without a doubt the first man ever to successfully push a Brussel sprout up a mountain with his nose. This weekend, Stuart managed to climb Snowdon – the highest mountain in Wales – on all fours, while pushing a Brussels sprout with his nose.
“On the 30th of July, I’m going to be pushing a brussel sprout up Mount Snowdon with my nose,” Stuart announced on his blog. “A trial run at Snowden – 0.1 mile took me 50 minutes. And that was while really driving the sprout hard, pushing it along with my nose. So I’ve calculated that it’s actually going to take me four to five days to complete the challenge. Very rough terrain up there, it’s all slate and rocks and steps.”
“I will have a backpack on as well with all the camping gear and lots of spare sprouts. It’s all on my hands and knees all the way with a plastic guard to protect my nose. I have limited food supplies on board so we hope people can bring us up some food now and again,” Stuart said before embarking on his nose-pushing quest.
Cameraman Richard Crump, who filmed Kettell throughout the four-day challenge, to make sure he doesn’t cheat, said that the first day was a grueling start for the English daredevil. “He has no skin on his knees, his wrists are hurting and his neck is really tired. But he is still going,” said Crump. “We have had a lot of funny looks. Some people are bemused. A lot of people have recognized him as the sprout man.”
“It’s absolutely grueling,” said a spokesperson for Macmillan Cancer Support. “I’ve just watched him do just nought-point-one of a mile and it was ridiculous. He was having to move rocks out of the way with his hands and the sprout fell apart after a very, very short period of time. So absolutely mental, I have no idea how he’s going to do it, I really don’t.”
