      Not yet! I did a three week trek in the Himalaya region in Northern India in a region called Himachal Pradesh. It is a beautiful part of the world has some of the most incredible scenery and people.We didn’t go as high as Everest or K2, and I got really bad altitude sickness for a few days! I recovered though whilst still walking 15 miles a day up and down mountains and creating some of my favourite memories like sleeping in a valley under the most beautiful sky, stars and the Milky Way. I definitely want to go back when I can and if I could climb one of those that would be an amazing achievement. Maybe we could do a summit challenge and get training for it as part of the Mission X programme! Is trekking and mountaineering something you’re interested in? What challenges would you like to face and where would you like to explore?

    You can always try and combine the two. You’ve got to give yourself a break sometime and you might get to go study in some great places fro trekking!
