I'm a practicing GP with 30 years of experience, married with 4 adult children. I am a keen walker and like to ski, play golf and play music.

I've always been up for a challenge - this is the big one. I have no idea whether I will cope with the altitude, lack of facilities that we all take for granted. I needed a challenge in my 60th year.

Good question. Well I was talking to Nich….and you know the rest!
