BLOG - Updates, photos, send us a message, etc

Jason Hoyle & David Simpson are off to Tibet and Nepal, commencing September 18th 2009. Working their way through Tibet they will visit monastaries, temples, villages and travel through the vast and beautiful Tibetan countryside. Then onto Nepal, trekking with the aid of porters, yaks and sherpas through forests, valleys and some of the worlds highest and most beautiful mountain passes trekking to Mt Everest Base Camp. They also hope to summit Kalar Patar, at 5545m.

We have set this part of the forum up for our families and friends and anyone interested to track how we're going, and when we return it will be a good place to put some photos. Updates will be posted here whenever possible. Web access is going to be a little challenging. but please feel free to leave comments and messages here too.

Hi there,
got back into Kathmandu yesterday morning, great flight skimming
over the tops of the foothills and looking down into the deep gorges and jungle below.
We went to our guides house in the afternoon for momos and drinks and then
he took some of us to the Rum Doodle climbers bar for dinner. We all signed a plaque
for the wall and checked out all the famous names that were on there. Going
for a wander around Thamel and Durbar Square today, already bloody hot.
Fly out tomorrow afternoon.
Jason...!!!

Hi all, we're back safe and sound, exhausted and I am sick but recovering, what an amazing adventure! There will be pics and video once the dust settles, thanks to everyone that sent us messages and kept us up to date etc, all I can say is that the Himalaya must be the most amazing place on earth. Go there. Be one of the ones that DO IT and not just want to do it!

Thanks again...David
