As well as fundraising, people have been training hard over the summer months. Including the majority of the Nottingham team who went along to the Nottingham Trent University altitude chamber in July. 30 of us spent an hour exercising in conditions simulating 4,000 metres (around 13,000ft). The air felt strange with the greatly reduced oxygen, but everyone passed with flying colours.
There is a lot more to do between now and our expedition in January, but we are making great progress every week, especially with our fundraising.
150 days to go. Onwards and upwards...
