The Personal Everest Challenge is now complete.  On Wednesday 5th September 2007, quadriplegic yachtsman Geoff Holt, paralysed from the chest down, returned home to become the first disabled sailor to sail single-handed around Great Britain.  It was an epic journey that took him and his seven man crew a total of 109 days to complete.  He had sailed 1,445 miles and visited 51 destinations during one of the worst summers in history.
