Public Services Everest Challenge

The Public Services students of Herefordshire & Ludlow College are always up for a challenge, and with the students being stuck at home due to the third lockdown, the tutors of the course decided to challenge the students to a seemingly massive undertaking, of walking to Mount Everest, and back, in the month of February. As a group they were tasked with collectively covering 9,400 miles, the distance to the mountain and back. They could achieve this by walking, running, cycling, rowing or any other method they could think of around their local area. As a further incentive for this challenge, they are also fundraising for the West Mercia Search and Rescue charity, a worthy cause, and a suitable link to the nature of their course.
