MOUNTAINEER Doug Scott has dropped in on a Darlington school.
Mr Scott visited Hummersknott School and Language College to meet 40 students and five staff who are planning an expedition to the Himalayas in February 2007.
Mr Scott visited the school and gave a slide show and talk to more than 200 parents and friends in the school hall.
The group will set off for Kathmandu in Nepal in February when they will visit schools and monasteries in the Himalayan foothills.
Details of future fundraising events can be found on the school's website www.hummersknott.org.uk
