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,

TRAINING - WALK 2 - Cochno Hill - 10th Sept 2013

Cochno Hill - well what can I (Mhairi) say?? Don't let me navigate might be a good start. So over a few fences, managed to outskirt a field of horses, but couldn't avoid the thorny bushes (ouch) before hitting the right path. Sorry Alan, but you had a map too.....lol
A longer more up and down route, passing a few reservoirs and a fantastic outlook over Glasgow city, but we made it with light fading fast. A quick walk back down, and a where the hell is the car moment and a huge sign of relief breathed on locating it in the pitch black. :o)
