The comforts of home
OK I admit it... even though I love adventures... I love coming home!
After 26 hours or so flying from Kathmandu to Wellington, our flight was greated with a very bumpy landing at Wellington airport (good on ya Windy Welly), and I was VERY pleased to be home with loved ones and enjoy sleeping and eating.
But I will also admit that I still have a close eye on what is happening up at Everest.
In particular, keep your eye on these inspirational people:
Sarah and Sharon at Everest Base Camp The first is my good friend Sharon Cohrs, pictured here at Everest Base Camp with me.
Sharon is an Australian who is a breast cancer survivor and an incredibly determined woman. She is aiming to climb Mount Everest and raise a quarter of a million dollars for breast cancer research and support... wow! AND she has a great sense of humour!
I'll be telling more of her story in an upcoming video interview. You can follow her progress at http://www.climbingforacause.com.au/blog
AC and prayer flags at Everest Base Camp The other team I am keeping a close watch on is the Adventure Consultants team. They are a great group of people from all over the world. They are very capably managed by Caroline who is their Base Camp manager.
I had the priviledge of spending a few nights staying in their Base Camp and it was great. Actually, it was very comfortable, what with a great dinning tent as well as my own tent that I could stand up in! It almost felt wrong to be so comfortable in the mountains!! However, as this is a key resting spot for the climbing team as they acclimitise and as they prepare for their summit bids it is essential that they are well looked after.
We'll be watching their progress with great interest over the coming weeks. Summit week is normally around the 3rd week of May.
I'll be loading up video and more images in the coming week.
Wishing you a life of inspiration and adventure
