Starting at 6am on Sat I climbed up and down the three highest peaks in the UK in 27 hours. Here's what I learned: • anyone who says you need more than two layers is a liar and a conman • never assume you're near the top even when you're touching the peak marker • Snowdon was imported from Hell

World looks incredible but almost everything else about that #GTAVI trailer was underwhelming. Bland leads, a story we've played a million times, the same gameplay we've had since 4. If it was meant to sell me a ££££ game it didn't do its job
