Kristine called tonight (the last call for a few weeks, presumably). They'd all just got up at 4:30am for their flight to Lukla. Judging by the amount of heckling in the background of the call, they all seemed in remarkably good spirits for that time in the morning.
I tried to describe the photos of the airport that I'd found on the internet, but I couldn't really do them justice over the phone.
No wonder they have to get their luggage weight down to 15kgs - the pilot probably asks them to flap their arms as well.
I hope they get a view of Everest like this one on the way in...

Hi all
You will be have left Lukla now and probably got to your first campsite. Hope the weather is as good as on the photos on this site!
Best wishes and good luck!

Amazing to think that you've started trekking already. We're all sitting at our desks and you're walking in the Himalayas!
thanks to Graham for the update.
