Despite what you may be
reading in the papers, Nepal is currently calm and peaceful and the people are
as friendly as always. We have spent the past few days organising expedition
food and supplies, (At last count we had ordered 1200 kilograms of food, with
the fresh food yet to be added!) organising our Sherpas and other support
staff and putting in the final preparations for the climbing equipment. This
is quite a large exercise, for example for this expedition we will be using
3000 metres of rope.
Other members will be joining
us in the next few days and we will post their safe arrivals in our next
dispatches as they arrive. Thank you for following the expedition!
Philip Ling and all of us at
