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
Not feeling too bad after yesterdays hike, the hardest and longest hike yet, sat out side the little cafe admiring the view of the Kramerspitz...will not be doing that again, well not today anyway, 1st picture is of the veiw on the way up, still quite away to go, 2nd is the first part of the ridge after 2 1/2 hrs hiking 3rd is half way across the ridge as the weather started to close in, nearly turned around at this point, 4th is the final climb to the top 5th is the view of the top, on my way down, 2hr later, hard going on the knees, had to use poles for the first time.
