28th Oct 2024
Phil Atty
‘Everest Base Camp"

"Retiring  from full time employment in 2009 at the age of 60 gave me the time to do some of the challenges I had hitherto not been able to do. So in 2011 at the age of 63  I trekked to Everest base camp at 5,400m, which is not for the faint hearted. I was attracted by the challenge, experiencing the Nepalese culture and the savage beauty of the Himalaya. It was an adventure with many twists and turns".
