Well done team 👏
A group of hikers from across Ireland will be making their way home from Nepal next week after taking on the challenge of reaching Everest Base Camp.
"We are a female led company made up of myself and Petra Armstrong who are both qualified Mountain Leaders. We both met doing our mountain leader training in 2019, clicked straight away and Wild Mountain NI was born. It took the team eight days of trekking to get to Everest Base Camp. which is at a height of 5364m and on Easter Monday, they achieved their goal.
"This meant that we had to do four days of hiking in two days but everyone dug deep and pulled it out of the bag - such a resilient bunch of adventurers."She added: "The whole team got on so well and not every day was easy but the support and encouragement of each other all the way was quite overwhelming to watch. We had a full team of nearly 50 counting our amazing Sherpas and porters.
"We were all amused as we arrived back in Kathmandu on New Years Eve of 2080 - their calendar is a little different over here. We left in 2023 and came back in 2080. Time travel!" Cathy said.
