Back on the road again

Their rest day over, the team will head down into the Hinku Valley tomorrow heading for Kote by Saturday night and the village of Tangnag the day after. This is a photo from Tangnag taken at sunrise.



And this is of a porter in the Hinku Valley.


I don't know what the Nepalese is for, "What the hell has she got in this bloody bag?" but you can be sure that Kristine's porter will have been muttering that several times a day since Lukla.

The Virtual Trek might be a bit less frequent from tomorrow as we're off on holiday for a week (unless there are any burglars reading this, in which case, I'm just popping out to buy a new machete). If any proper news comes through, I think Stella should be able to post it first (- how are the preparations going for the second wave of guiders hitting Kathmandu on the 16th April?). If our cottage at Kingussie has an internet wireless connection then I'll be OK but given that it has a 1 pound electicity meter, I'm not sure that's very likely!

Hi Kirstine
The views look amazing. Hope you have a wonderful trip. Would say wish it was me but the height terrifies me. Though I do think you have got off lightly imagine Graeme and Cameron this week - 4 females in one cottage - and he thinks you have a lot of luggage!
Regards
Andrea

Still not heard anything from the trekkers - but then no news is probably good news at this stage.

It is now only a week to go for the Community Project group. My packing looks very disorganised at the moment, just a great heap on the spare bed... and loads of educational stuff and not sure what to take??

Keshav at Kakani Scout Centre has been very helpful, emailing and telephoning, and we are hoping to visit there the day before the trekkers get back from Lukla.

Hope they all had a great Easter day yesterday. Can the Easter bunny hop that high...

Come on Stella this is not like you just think of your little tent... where is your soap going? I am sure the Easter Bunny will hop that high knowing Christine. Safe journey and love to all !
