Hi everyone and welcome to this first blog entry for our upcoming 2013 trip to Everest Base Camp. 

This blog page will become the main area where we will post our updates and photos, and where anyone will be able to respond to us. We had terrific support on the 2012 trip and the responses from many kept us very amused all the way up to Base Camp.

Our official training doesn't start until around 3rd week Oct, but already the 2013 team has commenced each of their own personal preparation activities. This has been very encouraging for me as it demonstrates that each of the team members understand the trek that awaits. They're all enthusiastic and keen and that alone is a great sign for 2013.

I've decided it's safer to walk in from Jiri. Stuff lukla.

Sue. Have faith. They might rattle and vibrate, and things occasionally fall of them, but the planes within Nepal are a good thing.

Justin completed 2 circuits of the 1000 steps yesterday. Claims there is a lot of new steps being constructed.

Maybe they're finally adding the extra steps to make it "1000 steps" as the name states. Aren't they approx 250 steps short. Get Justin to count next time.

I've just completed two circuits of the 23 steps out the front of this hotel. Does that count.

Great stuff Ryan. We are all getting into it down here, although not doing too much of it together..!! At this early stage, most of the team here are training and visiting 1000 steps on their own. 2 of them are retired, so it makes it easy to get there during the weekdays.

It's a good and very kind thing that Justin has graciously offered to count every step - of the Everest trip!!!
