The Never-Rest Girls’ from Chamonix France prepare for the world’s highest marathon

Meet ‘The Neverest Girls’ (Nikki, Sam, Sofia, Laura, Alison, Steph, Katy, Cat, Helen and Andrea) who wish to conquer the Mount Everest, next year.

Everyone heard it right. AlpyBus talks about the female runners based in Chamonix, French Alps that prepare for the ‘The Everest Marathon’ in May 2014.

Though not elite athletes or with any track records, the girls with the mission to raise funds for charity are under severe training for the long-distance running event.

Running for them is not a solitary pursuit but a team effort. For these young women, running is their support system, passion and freedom.

Best of luck!

Mont Blanc – a few things

Hello folks! A brief insight about Mont Blanc:

• Monte Bianco (Italian) – ‘White Mountain’
• Elevation: 4,810 metres (15781 feet), above sea level – the highest Summit, of Western Europe in between the Italian and French Alps.
• FIRST Ascenders: Jacques Balmat and Michel-Gabriel Paccard in the year 1786, and Horace-Bénédict de Saussure in the year 1787.

The Mont Blanc massif is famous for:

• Skiing and Snowboarding
• Hiking and Mountaineering

A few things to consider:

• Mont Blanc is not difficult to climb, but never attempt without proper training and equipment – TO AVOID ACCIDENTS!
• Mountain weathers change quickly. Check the weather report before going out to hike, climb and ski.
• Keep mobile phones at hand (with spare batteries, ready), for emergency.
• Seek the advice of a mountain guide, and do not go alone to explore the mountain ranges.
