Coun Trevor Young’s son, Jack Young, 21, left for a once in a lifetime trip back in February and reached the Everest Base Camp just days before the 7.8 earthquake caused severe avalanches on Mount Everest on Saturday 25th April.

Luckily Jack has been one of the few who has managed to contact home to let his parents know he is okay and safe.

Trevor said: “He has managed to contact us.”

“We were very worried and he has let us know he is alive and safe.”

“Apparently he is one of the a very few who have managed to make contact.”

Jack’s parents had an agonising wait from Saturday to Tuesday (28th April) without hearing from Jack.

Trevor added: “We are still very worried and concerned as there had been an aftershock since we first heard from Jack.”
