There’s an old mountaineering joke that says the Himalayas make great training ground for the Scottish Highlands, so it stands to reason that the opposite is true. Next week, I’ll get to put that theory to the test.
I’m joining a small group from the Welsh trekking company EverTrek for an 11-day trek along the classic route from Lukla to Everest Base Camp. The journey covers a distance of 80 miles round trip and climbs to more than 17,000ft above sea level.
