[SUBW-A] Nepal trekking

[Sam Buchanan]

*Hi All,
This is short notice. Is anyone interested in a hike in the Everest region
in Nepal over the Christmas period. The trek will take approximately 17
days, with a considerable portion of this spent above the snowline.
Accommodation will be a mix of tea houses and snow camping. Must be fit, and
be familiar with crampon and ice axe use. Previous mountaineering experience
not necessary (but a plus). We have organised an English speaking guide and
two porters. They will also arrange all necessary equipment- so you do
not  need
to have your own crampons and axe.  Dates are between the 15th of Dec and
3rd of Jan.
Below is a copy of the itinerary - Please email for more information.
