On the 18th May Pete, Dave and Rabi will be setting off on a 20 day expedition. To bike from Lhasa in Tibet to Kathmandu in Nepal. The journey will take them 1200km across the Himalayas, over six 5200m passes and up to Everest base camp. The last two days are down the longest descent in the world, as the trail drops 4000m off the Tibetan plateau down into Nepal.

They boys will be fund raising through Plan International to help local Nepalese Children gain medical treatment and healthcare. Please donate generously.
