Help for Heroes and Afghan Heroes Everest Base Camp Trek

My Adventure

On the 31st October 2009, I set off from my home in Paderborn Germany, to under take the 21 day challenge to "Everest Base Camp" in aide of "Help for Heroes" taking with me a special designed flag, Embroidered with all the names of our "Fallen Heroes" in Afganistan and Iraq, the flag was raised and a small service of Rememberance was held, and the flag was left to fly, at the place the local people call "The place of Memeories" I followed the footsteps of Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay to the Base Camp of Everest, the worlds highest mountain

Trekking: up to 9 hours a day, Altitude 2623-5545

My next challenge for 2010, is to have a permanent monument built over looking Everest Base Camp, to honour our Heroes, and to raise as much funds as possible for "Help for Heroes" and " Afghan Heroes" and to fund the building of the monument

please keep checking back for more updates, or if you would like to get involved, and help me fund raise, please contact me at glenblease@yahoo.co.uk

18.35 and I'm sat out side the little cafe on camp, they do a lovely iced donut, which I have for breakfast...no chance of loosing weight, did resist today though, looks like a storm is brewing, black clouds appearing over the mountains, not sure if that is a good or bad sign, good if it clears the air for a nice cool day for tomorrows hike, not good if it rains too much on the mountains, just have to wait and see.

Looking at the computor wonderíng why I can't see too good, still have my sun glasses on, (Idiot)..lol.......winds starting to pick up, better get finished and get back to the tent
