He added: "I want to thank Steve for his encouragement, his mentoring and his guiding. It was a new challenge for him because he hadn't guided anyone before but we got on very well and had a lot of banter and fun."
Mr Conyers, who even had a beer named after him by Brentwood Brewing Company, said his next challenge was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, which could be as early as August.
