News for April 2007

Girlguiding at its Peak! (20th Apr)
On Friday 13th April, 2 women, Bridget Gray and Margaret Hillyer, from the expedition of 18 Guiders, summited Mera Peak.
16 of the team reached High Camp (5900m) and five of the team turned back on the summit day at 6250m.

This is a remarkable achievement as many of these women, selected from Guiders throughout the UK, aged between 19-63, had never been to altitude before.

Two and a half years of preparation, fundraising and dedication made this a very successful expedition and hopefully an inspiration to other women.

The expedition would like to thank both Adventureworks and Nepal Summit Trekking form their support throughout.
