ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP, NEPAL

Namaste! 🤗

I last went to Nepal in 2005.....and things didn't go quite to plan...so this is my chance to lay my demons to rest by tackling the Annapurna Base Camp Trek whilst raising money for some of my favourite charities! 😁

Annapurna Base Camp is one of the best viewpoints in the world to enjoy the dramatic views of the amphitheatre-shaped ‘Annapurna Massif’. This 55-km long massif contains one peak over 8000m, 13 peaks over 7000m and 16 peaks over 6000m - something to behold.

ABC is at 4130 metres above sea level, so I need to get that training in....lots of "uphill" trekking!... so my training in 2025 will include my participation in 3 Kiltwalks (Glasgow, Dundee & Edinburgh) as well lots of high mountain hikes in the Cairngorms.

I want to make it there - hopefully with no incidents this time! - and although I am self-financing my treks, I would like to raise lots of money! I am raising funds for 3 charities I keenly support - The Gurkha Welfare Trust, Macmillan Cancer Support and Alzheimer's Research UK.

Any donation - no matter how small - would be so gratefully received.


Thank you! 💖
