We played 6hrs of Uno and several of us read a book in their sleeping bags in the common room. It was a long day. And there was zero internet connections at all to update anyone.
This morning we awoke to more overcast conditions and snow that was now waist deep!! We watched a few attempt to head up to Gorak Shep only to turn back a few hours later. After some long awaited sunny breaks, we had a meeting amongst us and decided to have a go. It was difficult trying to find the track, but we have now finally arrived at GS and are now planning Kalar Pattar in the morning. (Thanks for the favourable forecast Brian).
The team were shattered yesterday at the thought of abandoning KP and heading down. We watched several trekkers give it away due weather, but not this mob. I can't mention enough how tough and determined they have been. So impressed, and I'm hoping their efforts are rewarded in the morning.
I've noted several responses from my previous post and will try to answer some of them shortly. Love your support.
