Last night was our final night of the trek, after flying from Lukla to Kathmandu at 7am yesterday. We went to a restaurant near our guest house and had a meal together before going our separate ways today.

Today, we really started to think about the trek & the last 12 days, so whilst we only went to the bottom of Everest (Base Camp), we still feel proud of getting there, because on the way we have:

• Trekked over 100 km's, 
• travelled up to 5364m above sea level,
• met some amazing friends,
• had a complete adventure,
• dropped a few kg's,
• had an experience we will never forget and
• Hopefully (through your generosity) raised some money for The Black Dog Institute.

Phil and I started to write a mental list of the people that we need to thank, I hope we have everyone:

•  
  • Prem - "The Sherpa Tiger" & the head guide
  • The Nepalese guides and porters some of which carried over 20kg per day (while we carried about 5kg) - those guys are legends!
  • The team that we trekked with: Mark, Madeline, Peter, Kenny, Andy, Ruth, Jenny, Zoe & Dave (from UK).  We hope to remain great friends with all of you.
  • Mark Williams (Ray White Commercial) and our other corporate sponsors.
  • Our amazing friends & families. 
  • The Black Dog Institute and
  • Everyone who donated – Thank you!
