Joe and his granddad Kevin embarking on charity trek
Joe Hallos, 16, and his granddad Kevin Booth, 65, are undertaking the trip for Overgate Hospice.
The group will take in some beautiful sights along the way, such as the Khumbu National Park before catching their first glimpses of Everest, and the Gokyo Valley.
They set off on November 3 and will spend 13 days walking.

Joe’s mum Kelly said: “I think it’s amazing, and a great opportunity for Joe. He’ll absolutely love it.
“He’ll have his granddad there with him to look after him. I just hope they come back in one piece!
“My dad did it a few years ago, and when he came back he said he wanted to take Joe one day.
