AN intrepid group of students, parents and teachers from a Hereford school are planning a trip to Nepal, where they will trek to a mountain 5,643 metres above sea level with stunning views of Mount Everest.

The 19-strong team from Hereford Cathedral School (HCS) will make the trip to the village of Ghachok, Nepal, in October, first walking to Everest Base Camp before going on to Kala Patthar, the most accessible point from which to view the world's highest mountain from base to peak.
