Agree it could probably be expanded but that really isn't my forté. Feel free to have a go though. Did think it could be possible to include the Andean three peaks challenge too before attempting the dizzy challenge of Everest, K2, and Anapurna (and that bloody overpriced café at the summit of Everest). </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34611#post-97854 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 10:18:27 +0000 dvo4fun 97854@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>And the coffee is only luke-warm. Not as if they've got the excuse of water boiling at lower temperature at altitude. And it's in Wales </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34611#post-97849 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 08:33:07 +0000 waylandsmithy 97849@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>This is worth expanding, at least as long as a NiB. Mind you, the Himalayas might be taller, but the traffic in the Lake District is murder, and have you seen the prices of the sandwiches at the foot of Snowdon? </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34611#post-97847 Sat, 26 Nov 2011 08:20:51 +0000 CJWorkman 97847@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Dizzy heights of five stars! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34611#post-97754 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 15:24:54 +0000 dvo4fun 97754@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Good point greg. and time of year is important. Popular choice is midsummer-time for length of daylight but then you can get held up by all the %$!* charity walkers. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34611#post-97734 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 14:31:41 +0000 greg various 97734@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>If you do Everest before breakfast if gives you just enough time to do K2 and the other one before they close the cafe at Horton in Ribblesdale. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=34611#post-97718 Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:25:34 +0000 Smart Alex 97718@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>... </p>
