In the summer of 2005 I took part in this pioneering trek in Tibet raising funds for theUK charity MENCAP. It was the first trek of this kind by a UK group. We traversedmountains near Lhasa trekking from the Ganden Monastery to the SamyeMonastery and reaching altitudes up to 5,300m (17,500 ft) in the process. Vist theentire site (lots of info about Tibet!) or go straight to the Trek Report with 100s ofphotos.
Bike Ride in China, 2002
This cycling challenge to raise funds for the UK charity MENCAP took place on quietbackroads of the Chinese coutryside in Beijing and Hebei provinces in the early daysof China’s gradual opening to the West. The early digital photos are not as good asthose taken today, but certainly capture our pioneering spirit! [Site link]
