Dinge Boche
Rest Day
a bit wet, windy and cold
but I was out of bed at 0500 and saw the sunrise
clear sky
beautiful mountains
Trying to do washing in the damp and charge things up( camera) at 350 rupees per minute
We reach base camp on the 27th all going well
No phone working and blackberry is still a waste of space
this may improve as we approach base camp there is allegedly a mobile Chinese transmitter.
I hope all is well with everyone
We are ready and up for the race but experiencing the normal cross section of challenges at this altitude 4,300+ m
deli belly
hypertension
periodic breathing from hyperventilation and low CO2
love to all
we will post further when we can
and ring or text if mobiles start to work

27th May...you should be there!
'MAY 27 - TREK to EVEREST BASE CAMP (17,593 ft)' it reads from your itinerary [http://www.everestmarathon.com/itinerary.htm]
It is such a shame there is no reception up there (a week of silence is a long time!) as we all want to wish you loads of luck for Thursday. We hope you are all well and thinking of you all the time. Ella asked me to draw a picture of Daddy today! We have had a lovely bank holiday weekend in sunny Beadnell back home today.
Lots of love to you all. Lucinda, Dylan and Ella xxx

Hi,
Good Luck for tomorrow! It's been a miss you lot not having a signal. What will you blog about after the marathon? What will we read?! Though I've no doubt some other equally exciting adventure will be on the cards in the near future.
Good luck and be careful!
Lots of love xxx
