At 5600 metres, Everest Base Camp is the start of the famous assault on the world’s highest mountain; it is higher than any mountain in Europe and higher than most mountains in the world. The trek through the Himalayas, lasting over 15 days, is one of Simon’s lifelong ambitions.<br /><br />Simon, is funding the trip himself, and his objective is to raise money for The NSPCC, therefore any donations will be gratefully received.<br /><br />Making a donation is simple visit www.justgiving.com/simonstokes or call Simon on 0845 402 3045.Matt Joneshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01306667314262545917noreply@blogger.com
