Apologies for the lack of updates over the last week, but the Nepalese clearly have bigger problems to deal with than sorting us foreigners out with internet access!
MAIN THING IS THOUGH - WE DID IT! Woohoo!!! Early on Tuesday afternoon we finally reached Mount Everest Base Camp at 5463m (ish lol). Trekking up and along the Khumbu glacier was amazing, though rather tough going as there's no track as such, just a basic trail mostly covered by newly-fallen boulders from the surrounding ridges.
It was strange being at Base Camp, what with people celebrating their acheivements, taking photos for sponsors, whilst others took time out for other personal reasons.
If I'm honest I'm probably a bit too spaced out to be writing this now, seeing as we walked from Pheriche to Namche Bazar in record time, but I thought I had better let you lovely people back home know that we made it there, made it back, are very sore following the experience, and would like to remind you that our sponsorship pages are still running!!!
