737 Leg 7 Everest - Day 134

Happy Easter everyone!

Apologies no update for the past few days, sat phone and mob reception is not great here in the Valley but today I found an internet café so I was able to send you all my updates I had written for the past few days so check out below as well.

Myself, Dai and Rakesh were planning on dropping down to Pheriche this morning to visit the medical centre there as Rakesh hasn't been feeling well, however after a few days of medication from the first aid kit he's feeling much better and didn't want to go. So instead Dai Camera and I went for a wander and found this place - the internet cafe! I've been in contact with the 2011 Jagged Globe Everest team, which is great. I've received an email from David Hamilton and it's great to start discussing thoughts for how best for us to acclimatise and devise a summit strategy. The banter has already started, the group are made up of English, Scots and Irish and they're all running out of mick taking between them so I am looking forward to 2 Welshy's to add to the mix! I have my game head on though! Ha! I'm really looking forward to getting on the mountain now, the trekking is beautiful, but patience is a massive part of Himalayan climbing! This after noon we're trekking to Chukung at 4730m where we'll spend the afternoon and night.
