Just a quick update:

Thanks for all yer emails all...

Here's a bit of info on my first 6-7 days trekking in the himalayas - I'll update it properly with all the pics and glam around the 7th Nov when I get back into Kathmandu.

a segment of an email I just sent:

"there has been freak weather here which almost put the trek circuit in doubt - we arrived at the start under very heavy rain (unusual for time of year) - which meant up high was a LOT of snow! So the highest point got cut off - we've seen lots trekking back - but we got good news today and the pass (5416metres) is now open so we can make it through there in 3 days time.

We have now arrived at 3600metres and have to stay here 2 nights to acclimatise to the altitude - we now have a really nice lodge compared to the rest of the way here - we stayed in something like a mud hut the 2nd night!!!

Anyway, better get going - sunbathing to be done and shoes to be dried out!"
