Robin’s Tour du Mont Blanc Challenge
In July 2025, Robin will be taking on the gruelling Tour du Mont Blanc.
170kms long and circumnavigating the entire Mont Blanc Massif, she will be passing through France, Italy and Switzerland. It’s a hard trek - something like eight Ben Nevis’s ascent and descent over nine days so it is going to be quite a challenge!
As with her Everest Base Camp Trek in 2023, Robin is fundraising for Supporting Nepal's Children. During that trip she saw first-hand the amazing difference the charity is making to young people in Nepal and she is delighted to continue to support the work they undertake.
