On September 29th 1952 John Cobb made an attempt at the world water-speed record on Loch Ness which ended in tragedy as the boat crashed and Cobb was killed.

Cobb already held the world land speed record when he took his boat onto Loch Ness in September 1952, aiming to beat the water speed record of 178.4 miles per hour held by the American Stanley Sayres.

On his first run Cobb, a London fur broker, recorded 206mph, the first man to travel at such a speed on water. But yards beyond the mile marker, when he should have turned round and repeated the distance, he hit three freak waves.

The flimsy craft broke up and sank, catapulting its pilot into the dark waters.

One eyewitness described the flimsy red and yellow pieces of the Crusader on the water as being like "autumn leaves". Most of the craft disappeared.

Cobb's body was recovered after the crash, but the wreckage of the Crusader lay undiscovered 200 metres down in the depths of Loch Ness until it was discover in 2002, 50 years after the tragedy.

He reigned supreme at the Brooklands motor racing track in the 1930s.

In 1947, at Bonneville Flats in Utah, he exceeded 400mph in a car before deciding to go for the double with an attempt at the water speed record.

His 206mph top speed did not enter the record books because he did not complete the second run of his attempt.

Nearby, there is a memorial to him erected by the people of Glenurquhart and unveiled by his sister a year after the tragedy.

He is buried at Christ Church, Esher.

🌿 Hey there, Tumblr!

I'm Lottie and I'm new to the platform.

I'm basically a wandering soul, always on the hunt for adventure, whether it's stumbling upon hidden gems in my hometown or on my travels.

I'm obsessed with penpalling. There's just something magical about connecting with people from all over through handwritten letters 💌

You'll probably find me cozied up with a book and a cup of coffee at home or at a local café. Give me fiction, give me poetry 📚☕️

I'm not sure what I'll share yet, but maybe my adventures, DIY shenanigans, bookish musings, and whatever else feels right.

Sending virtual hugs and high fives to all of you. Let's make some memories, shall we? 🌿💕

Lottie xo

For those who crave excitement, challenge, and a chance to experience nature's grandeur, there is no greater adventure than trekking to Everest Base Camp. This ultimate pilgrimage for adventure seekers offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the majestic beauty of the Himalayan mountains up close and personal. The Everest Base Camp Trek is not just a journey; it is a life-changing experience that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.

Whether you are an experienced trekker or a novice hiker, the Everest Base Camp Trek is an adventure that can be tailored to suit your level of fitness and experience. With the right preparation and guidance, anyone with a spirit of adventure can conquer this legendary trail.

Trekking in Nepal

Nepal, the land of the Himalayas, has long been a favorite destination for trekking enthusiasts from around the world. The country's unique geography, diverse landscapes, and rich cultural heritage make it an ideal location for adventure seekers seeking to challenge themselves and explore the natural wonders of the region.

With its numerous trekking routes and well-established infrastructure, Nepal offers a wide range of options for trekkers of all levels. From short and easy hikes to more demanding and rigorous expeditions, there is something for everyone in Nepal.

Everest Base Camp Trek

The Everest Base Camp Trek is the epitome of adventure in Nepal. This iconic trek takes you through some of the most breathtaking scenery on Earth, offering a unique opportunity to witness the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, up close and personal.

Challenges and Rewards

The Everest Base Camp Trek is not for the faint-hearted. It requires physical fitness, mental strength, and a spirit of perseverance. The trail is demanding, with steep ascents, rocky terrain, and high altitude conditions. However, the rewards are worth every step taken.

As you make your way through remote mountain villages, lush valleys, and ancient monasteries, you will be captivated by the beauty and serenity of the Himalayas. The sight of snow-capped peaks, sparkling glaciers, and colorful prayer flags fluttering in the wind will leave you in awe.

Cultural Immersion

One of the highlights of the Everest Base Camp Trek is the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local Sherpa culture. You will have the chance to visit monasteries, interact with the friendly Sherpa people, and gain insights into their unique way of life.

The Sherpas, renowned for their mountaineering skills and warm hospitality, will accompany you on your trek, serving as guides and mentors. Their knowledge of the terrain, weather conditions, and local customs will enhance your experience and ensure your safety throughout the journey.

Himalayan Mountains

The Himalayan mountain range is a geological wonder and a treasure trove of natural beauty. Spanning across several countries, including Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Tibet, these majestic mountains are home to some of the world's highest peaks, including Mount Everest.

Oh, friends, meet the embodiment of autumnal vibes! 🍂 This gal's got that wild, free-spirited look, with a twinkle in her eyes like she knows the world's secrets. Her hair is all kinds of sun-kissed waves and curls, totally giving me major hair envy. Also, this lady rocks a floppy hat that whispers, "I'm an adventurer" and a flannel that screams cozy bonfire nights. It's like she stepped right out of an indie folk song!
