Trek A9 are well on the way

6 messages :: read>

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!

Miss Kay, I hope all is well. Interesting note: the frequency of blogs is off dramatically from the '07 expedition. Your fans are still excited.!! 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 home now, wishing so much I could have continued with you all and made it up to Base Camp. 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

Dearest Kay,
You know who I am back down in Kathmandu. Havent told home I am off the trek yet. Just need to say how much I appreciated your kindness. Also now that things are improved (kidney infec) 3 old fashoined glass bottles of fluid and iv cipro later, I am planning a trip somewhere in nepal in the next few days.Completely gutted, distraut, and self hateing, not to be with you all, but that's life. Want all of you to make the most of every step up, and down (no pun intended) and send me photos, although they will make me cry, I know!
I love you all,
902
