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

Great hike yesterday from hammersbach up and over the Hollentalklamm, had a quick sandwich about 11, then on to the Hollentalanger haus, bit of a rest for a drink, turned left up to the Knappenhauser, took a right up to the Kreuzeck, another stop for some lovely gulasch soup...yummy, then we headed off back down to Hammersbach a trek that would normaly take me 5 1/2 hrs, but 10 hrs and 31,320 steps later, we finaly made it back, I think my husband and our friend need some more training
