You Can Donate by Clicking here at our Just Giving Site , but please read on First
You may think i’ve gone slightly mad , but i have been thinking about how i can raise a large amount of funds for charityto give something back to the local community and the people who support us @broadhousehotel and also challenge myself .
So I along with a couple of friends Ian Blake and Richard Moore We have decided to do something that we could practice on locally , train and something that Norfolk has a lot of in large abundance , Climb a High Mountain .
We wanted something that would task us mentally and physically and that we needed to train for as we all are carrying a few extra pounds .
So how high can we go in Norfolk ,we thought there has to be something that challenges us ,but after looking around we wanted something a bit higher thanHorsey Windpump (watch this vid the sceenery is just slightly different ) or Norwich Cathedral . or the Castle so we decided to look further affield
So many people have done the 3 peaks Challenge and Killimanjaro so we said lets do something different , how about the highest mountain in the world we said jokingly as the chances of us climbing to the top is nil . So Mount Everest is the highest so lets go there , and then we actually found out we could , so we are off to Mount Everest Base Camp with our Norfolk Flag .
We leave on November the 12th for our 3 week trip and Climb to neally £20000 Feet .
So what is the challenge i hear you say , well three of us are hoping to raise over £25,000 for Three Norfolk Charities

Trip Details
Main Description
Solu Khumbu is the most famous area of Nepal and perhaps in the entire Himalaya. It is the home of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, as well as several other giants, and of the hardy mountain people renowned in mountaineering lore – the Sherpas. After flying from Kathmandu to Lukla, you commence your trek along the Dudh Kosi Valley passing numerous small villages and homesteads. Beyond Namche Bazaar, the Sherpa ‘capital’, you’ll pause at the celebrated monastery at Thyangboche before continuing on to reach Everest Base Camp itself – scene of many triumphs and tragedies. Before descending from the mountains you’ll also ascend Kalar Patar, a fine vantage point with magnificent views of Everest and the surrounding peaks. The Nepalese call Everest Sagarmatha, or ‘head of the oceans’. Everest is one of the world’s most awe-inspiring sights and along with its surrounding peaks, can truly be called one of the natural wonders of the world – a perfect place for adventure!
