Mount Everest is some 8850 meters above sea level, making it the highest point on earth. This equates to 115 times up Le Val des Terres hill, situated on the south end of St. Peter Port. On 1st January the challenge will begin for all abilities of fitness and is open to all age groups. This is the second time the charity event will be taking place and it is set to run over 30 consecutive days.
The event is open for individual as well as team challenges and this year we will be giving medals to all participants who raise funds for the Sarah Groves Foundation and in-turn are supporting Guernsey Mind. Each member will record their own number of laps using any suitable walking app (Garmin, Strava, etc), and we shall also be providing the JustGiving link so you can set up a sponsorship page.
Thus far some 30 people have completed the challenge and the feedback has been so encouraging from all those who have earned “Sherpa Status“. Members have not only benefited from a physical fitness perspective, but also from the amazingly positive effects on mental health, of meeting new friends, and of having a challenge with a highly rewarding end goal. If you to want to earn your “Sherpa Status” then please set up your JG page with a £115 target (which equates to £1 per circuit).
The circuit comprises: Up Le Valles de Terres, turn right to go down to the Dorset Arms public house, turn right to go down to Havelet Bay, and repeat. Until you experience the beauty of the consistent winning feeling as you complete every circuit, then you will never appreciate just how special The Everest Challenge really is. Simply, it’s a fantastic way to kickstart your 2020 vision!
