Sherpa Shezza's 2017/18 Hiking & Trekking Challenge

I'm raising funds for the amazing WESC Foundation - The Specialist Centre for Visual Impairment.   www.wescfoundation.ac.uk

May 2017 to May 2018 - I've set myself the challenge of completing 1,000 miles of hiking/trekking (more than walking from Land's End to John O' Groats!). Including hiking Hadrian's Wall Walk (85 miles), Shropshire Six Summits (37 miles), Ben Nevis (4,411 ft), Scafell Pike (3,209 ft), Snowdon (3,560 ft), Crib Goch Route (Snowdon) (3.207 ft), Mount Teide (Tenerife) (12,198 ft) and concluding with a monumental trek to Mount Everest Base Camp (17,598 ft).

Unfortunately didn't make it to Everest Base Camp! Sleep deprevation,
altitude and harsh conditions got the better of me! I turned back back after 10 days (with 2 only trekking days left!). Disapointing, morale a little low but it is what it is.. Trekked as far as Pheriche (4,371 mts/14,340 ft altitude). No plans to attempt again!   ............Yet!!

Hiking:  Done!  Over 1,000 miles..
