Onwards and upanddownwards

The team will have left Nashing Dingma this morning and will now be camping at 12,000 feet at Chalam Kharka, no wonder the tents look a bit frosty in this photo of the campsite! Hope everyone has remembered their duvets.





Tomorrow they head higher still, up to 14,000 feet and on the way will get views of the third highest mountain in the world, Kangchenjunga, seen below, first climbed by Joe Brown in the fifties (spot the mountain anorak).







Today is our 15th wedding anniversary so, on an unashamedly sentimental note, I've included a photo of the last time Kristine and I were on a hill together (above Bridge of Orchy this winter).

Kristine had left my present with the kids - a lovely watch. I sneaked her present into her bag...a small chocolate rabbit....but, hey, it's the thought that counts...
