Welcome to Mount Everest The British Story!

My name is Colin Wallace and I live in the Westcountry area of England, United Kingdom. I have had a great interest and passion for Mount Everest for more than 10 years now. 

Why my passion for Mount Everest? Well, for me it all started in 1996 when I saw a BBC News report on the storm that hit Mount Everest. For some reason, I wanted to read and learn everything I could about Mount Everest, especially about the British Expeditions past and present.

The aim of my website, Mount Everest The British Story (which I started in early 2007) is to keep you up to date with all information and news regarding the British on Mount Everest.

Sometimes I get the odd email asking if I would sponsor an expedition heading for Mount Everest, I am sorry to say but I do not offer any sponsorship money. This website is just a hobby for me and I sadly do not have any funds to help expeditions out, if I did, I would be going there myself!

I am more than happy to answer any queries you may have about this website or just a general chat about all things Mount Everest. I can be contacted via our Contact Form.
