Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Following preparation and training over several years our team of intrepid mountaineers are hoping to trek to Everest Basecamp (5,300 metres/17,400 feet) followed by a trek to the top of Kala Patthar (5,643 metres/18,514 feet) where they should get some of the best views of Mount Everest and the surrounding peaks. From here they hope to have acclimatised for their attempted summit climb of Island Peak (6,189 metres/20,305 feet) before returning to Lukla Airport for the short journey back to Kathmandu and their journey home. The trip is not going to be easy though, even with all the training our team can succumb to the dangers of High Altitude Mountain Sickness, food poisoning and other hygiene related illnesses. However, the team is well prepared and accept the various challenges that the trip offers. The trek from start to finish should take approximately 22 days and we ask that you can support their efforts by donating towards the nominated charities of:-

Macmillan Cancer Support &

Lagan's Foundation

Thanks in advance
