Yorkhill Yeti Yomp: July 2013

Blurb

Welcome to Maz, Al and Laura's mad dash up a mountain! But not just any mountain, the biggest mountain in the world - MOUNT EVEREST!

In September 2014 Mhairi Jack, Alan Long and Laura Hastings will be making the 18 day trek to to the base camp of Mount Everest in Nepal, all to raise funds for Yorkhill Children's Hospital. This isn't just a Sunday stroll folks, with temperatures in excess of 30 degrees during the day and dropping to minus 10 at night, altitude sickness will be a constant threat as we walk for 6 - 8 hours each day to ascend to a height of 17,598 feet above sea level - that's FOUR times the height of Ben Nevis!!

Along the way we are aiming to raise a whopping £12,000 for Yorkhill Hospital, to fund the incredible work they do and support the daily miracles they perform with sick kids.

This is first post of our journey folks, so add this page to your favourites and follow as we go. And more importantly,
