Everest Base Camp - news

News from the Wanderer arrived this morning:

 Just to let you know I am still alive.

I made it to Everest base camp but did not make it to summit of island peak, was about 20 mins away and gave up, the truth is I was terrified but I am using the high winds has my official excuse, guides said they had never seen such strong winds, it was pretty crazy.


I have been suffering with a horrid cold and under something of a grey blanket this week and I can't tell you how much the news has cheered me up!  This is the other side of the two edged sword I wrote about in my last post!!

No photos but if you Google "Everest Base Camp" you'll find plenty though obviously none of the Wanderer!

  2. I am still with you. I am so glad for you and her that she is not a peak bagger, and knows and honours her limitations. I hope you feel better soon.

  12. Phew hey?!! Such a strong tie we carry with our children.
    p.s...Re: Ballerina Fox...Genevieve is a bit of a recluse so it's no wonder you haven't seen her...maybe early morning on the Seine by the book sellers...
