Trek A9 are well on the way
Trek A9 have arrived in Namche after trekking from Lukla, and seem in good spirits. They stormed up the Namche hill, and have been enjoying the Sherpa Capital of Namche for a few days. Tomorrow, we set off for Deboche, and tackle the Thengboche hill. They should take it in their stride.
The urine studies are the subject of frequent conversations. They have renamed the colours on the colour charts with paint style suggestions. They are also well into the swing of the diary, appetite and NIRS studies.
Onwards and upwards!

I hope you find the expedition familiar yet still inspiring. Continued safe journey and I am hopeful time will allow continued messages. Sincerely, Lamont |

I am really proud of you though, and am with you in spirit, even if my spirits are somewhat low. Safe journey back all of you and please call when you get back. xx Caroline |
