the pear tree estate stands at the highest point of rugeley and at the very top of the estate is a road called hillary crest named after this great man!
I agree. My husband and I were just reminiscing. Edmond Hilary gave a talk at school. We have a signed copy of Ascent of Everest signed by both Hilary and Hunt. RIP
after the successful climb, he devoted much of his life to the building of schools and hospitals in Nepal and was made an honorary Nepalese citizen. I think that, as much as the ascent of Everest itself, made him a truly great man.
as a point of interest did anyone know that Sir Edmund HIllary's grand father (i think it was or great grand Father) Sir William Hillary was the founder of the RNLI quite a family
