Cool Everest

You’d think climbing Mount Everest once would be enough for most people, but tonight I went to Abergavenny to listen to a man who has climbed it ELEVEN times, his name? Kenton Cool!

It was an inspirational talk and the pictures were just stunning and awesome, it does seem a different world but one I would like to experience. The event was organised by the Touchstone Foundation to help raise funds for three young people who are going out to Malawi in 2015. It was a great night and with the auction at the end, hopefully they’ve gone a long way to their fundraising target.

Speaking of the auction in my hand you can see pieces of rock; this is rock from the summit of Mount Everest. It’s about the closest I’ll ever get to the summit.

A good meeting in the morning, giving me some reassurance that my plans for my new job are the right way to do things. It’s exciting!
