Love Her Wild (www.LoveHerWild.com) was set up to inform and inspire women around the world to get outdoors more. They are organising an all-female expedition for September this year and are looking for team mates to apply. No experience is needed, you just need to identify as a woman.
The expedition is called the Everest Challenge and the concept is simple:6 women, over 5 days, in the Lake District climbing the height of Everest. That’s hiking over 8,840 metres!
You can read more about the challenge with more details about the application process here: http://www.theordinaryadventurer.com/adventure/everest/female-expedition/
By applying you agree to the following:
- attending a training weekend on Friday 2nd (evening) – 4th June 2017
- being available between Wednesday 13th and Tuesday 19th September 2017 for the expedition (this includes a travel day either side of the challenge)
- following the training schedule in your own time so you are fit and ready for the challenge
- spending some time helping the team look for sponsorship opportunities (duties will be split amongst the team and full instructions will be given on what you need to do)
- doing 1 action that will inspire other women. This could be organising a talk at a local Girl Guides or school, writing an article about your experience, or any other idea you may have
- being filmed, recorded and photographed for any promotional purposes and to writing at least 3 blogs during the training and expedition for www.LoveHerWild.com
- being a good and supportive team player who is accepting and tolerant of all peoples beliefs and opinions
