Sarah Lyle – Cyclist and Climber

Commercial logo

Sarah Lyle, 23, has just completed a geology degree at Cambridge University, enticed by the numerous field trips, from Arran to Texas. Contrary to popular belief there was more to Cambridge than study; she represented the university on the rugby field, took massage courses, organised the Clare May Ball and made the most of the college level sport - rowing, hockey, football, netball, rugby 7s and lacross.

Ever since a 6 week adventure across Europe with her family Sarah has had a passion for travel. She had a gap year in New Zealand working in Christchurch. It was a great opportunity for getting into the outdoors and she made the most of the climbing, walking, skiing, caving and things that you don't tell your mum about until afterwards! Since then she has filled the long university holidays with trips to Africa, charity work in India and recently joined the team in the Alps for an awesome 10 days including an ascent of Mont Blanc.

The EVERESTMAX trip combines all the things Sarah thrives on - travel, exercise, adventure and of course, great rocks!
