As a fund-raiser for Bletchly Park ( http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/ ); the historic site of secret British codebreaking activities during WWII and birthplace of the modern computer, my daughter Astrid will be climbing to Mt Everest's Base Camp this August. Now Astrid is not a mountain climber nor a tekking sort in real life, but she is a serious supporter of Bletchly Park and thought it would be an exciting personal challenge as well as a great way to help raise funds to supper Bletchly Park.
So - hint, hint - please consider a donation to help her efforts. Funds can be donated through Just Giving: http://www.justgiving.com/Astrid-Byro (And if your company does corporate donations she's open to promo stunts, contact her for details.)
Astrid has a Mt Everest Base Camp Trek blog at http://abc-ebc.blogspot.com
Anyway the main food the Trek company says they'll be eating on the climb is LENTILS. Lots and lots of lentils. And garlic and onions and cabbage. Hmmmm...
If you know more about foods eaten on Mt Everest treks, please let us know. We're considering what recipes we could make for Astrid to bring along.
