Everest Anywhere

Meet some of Trail’s mighty Everest Anywhere challengers and completers.

8848m in one year – meet the completers

Summer is finally here, and there’s no better reason to get out into the hills than longer days and warmer weather… but there’s far more to our Everest Anywhere challenge than just hill-lovin’ fun!

Walking uphill is a high-intensity workout and has huge health benefits. The increased cardiovascular effort of hillwalking means you burn more calories, cut your chances of diabetes and cancer by up to 50 per cent, reduce the risk of osteoporosis by 83 per cent, and have a 35 per cent better chance of avoiding heart disease. Plus, there’s scientific evidence that hillwalking is one of the best stress-busters there is.

And the best thing? You can get all this for free! Unless you count the cost of your walking boots and your amazingly priced

Trail subscription (with free OS mapping to help count your metres of ascent and track your routes). Be inspired by this month’s challengers and completers, then visit www.lfto.com/everestanywhere and sign up now!
