The new blog!

Hi!
Welcome to the new blog for Ste & Jen's trek to Everest Base Camp 1!
We aim to add updates as and when physically possible during the trip, but please bear in mind we're trekking in some of the most remote parts of the world so online access is far from guaranteed.
We fly late Friday night (April 10th) so keep checking back over Easter weekend and beyond to see where we are and what we're up to.
In the meantime, both of our sponsorship pages are still running, please show your support during our trip and help us make that little bit extra difference for our chosen charities.
Jen has a little bit of catching up to do (!!!!) so please make her page your first stop to support Macmillan Cancer Support which you can find at http://www.justgiving.com/everestbasecamp09
If you're then feeling particularly generous, stop by http://www.myactionaid.org.uk/SteSmith :)
We're going to give this trek our all. There's a list of potential reasons why we could fail to reach base camp at 18,500ft (not forgetting acute mountain sickness and a whole host of other problems) but rest assured we will give it our all. We owe it to our kind sponsors who have already given over £1300 to our chosen charities. For that we'll always be grateful.
We'll be in touch soon!
Ste Smith & Jen Venables.
