A struggle back to Namche....

2/3/2013

Above. More shots from our Kalar Pattar morning.
We all agreed the other night that we would commit to a 3 day return from Kalar Pattar to Lukla so as to keep our firm airfares from Lukla to Kathmandu on Monday 4th. If we put these flights back, we no longer have firm seats and instead go into a stand-by on the day we choose, which in Lukla can spell trouble..!! Now a 3 day return is a hard 3 days and some of the team are struggling. One came into Perishe at 8.45pm last night under head torch..!! Not ideal, although thankfully not that cold and had our chief guide and porter with them.
We will meet again tonight and see if we are still happy to push on to Lukla tomorrow (approx 18klms of continued ups and downs). Most of the team are keen to fly out on Monday. 
The Kalar Pattar success has really slowed down some of the members. Ray, Greg and Nicole finding the last few days very hard. Trekking slowly and finding both the ups and downs a little harder than last week.
Scenery still incredible. Been a tough but terrific trip.

Thanks for support.

Seems incredible that a fly out of Lukla tomorrow is achievable so soon after reaching Kalar Pattar. Hope the three Melbournians rally to the occasion ! Good luck.

Wow haven't read the blogs for a few days - sounds as though you guys have had it tough but so good to hear of the success. Fantastic effort, well done - such a sense of satisfaction (& relief) must be being felt by all but yes, I know, not over yet, still slogging away. Keep the spirits up & enjoy!
