On the 7th October 2016, I am setting off to the climb the tallest mountain in the world! EVEREST. For those of you who know me well, this is going to be a brutally physical and mental challenge as I make my way over 5,000 meters into the Himalayas.

I will spend 16 days navigating through tough terrain and I can only hope for the best conditions in what has been a very treacherous region in the past year. Not only is doing the trek its self a huge challenge but putting in the hours of training in the months leading up to it makes it all the more difficult.

Even with all of this in mind, I am still worried about two things... what the public toilets are going to be like at 5,000 meters??? haha and where the bar is for after!!! My target of £5,340 is based on how many meters I have to climb... it actually makes me feel a little bit sick.. oh well here we go :)

I am only doing this once guys, so please dig deep, its a big target but easily achievable with your generosity and my extreme fitness... hahahahahahaha   Scott
