More News. Yak Attack 2013.

Great News!




Today I have received confirmation from Extreme World Challenges that my application for entry in to next years Yak Attack has been successful! And I have already paid the deposit just to make sure.

Another "Showdown in The Annapurna's" for me then! :)

Along with trekking The Expedition Route to Mount Everest Base Camp and attempting The Tenzing-Hillary Everest Marathon this completes my Himalaya Quest 2013 itinerary.

I will be seeking corporate partners so if anyone wishes to support me in any way please get in touch.

Announcement! Himalaya Quest 2013!!!

The view of Mount Everest and Lhotse from Tengboche one evening.
 
For some crazy reason my good friend, and fellow "Himalaya Quest'er", Wilco Voulon has invited me along to Nepal once again.  We will be guiding a large party of athletes and repeating our epic trek along the Expedition Route, from Jiri to Mount Everest Base Camp, and then foolishly taking part in The Tenzing-Hillary Everest Marathon! back to Namche Bazar. (May 2013).

 I think I can manage another month in beautiful Nepal!

Wilco has had a website created specially for this event and anyone wishing to come along can view the details from this link (you will need to use Google Translate if you don't speak Dutch!).

Once again we will be highlighting the Autisme Sportief Foundation and the wonderful work they do helping to build confidence in children and young adults via the medium of sport.

You can follow us on twitter using these links:



Or on Facebook here: Chase The Rainbow


Look out for more news coming soon!

This is why you ride one of the toughest races in the world! Amazing.

I've finally managed to get the images uploaded after a few technical glitches!
I hope you enjoy them. The landscape was amazing. My thanks to NepalSutra, Jeremy & Carena Dean and Sonya Looney for some of the images.
