A hard day today. All uphill. We were on the track by 8am and at around 8.07am we were at the bottom of 3000 steps. Morning tea in the sunshine before climbing another 3000 steps. It was tough going but everyone trekking strong. Lunch was well earned as I think I had worked off breakfast at the top of the first set of 3000 steps.
Dinner table discussions last night consisted of peoples first-aid kits and what they had brought along. The golden hat goes to Danielle. In her first aid kit is a packet of Combantrin, yes worming tablets. Danielle was quick to follow up that she doesn't have worms but just in case!!
Sue R wanted to make a special mention to Vee and the Bairnsdale HIIT factory crew. Her HIIT factory legs allowed her to ascend 1250 meters today. Thanks Vee and the team.
We are sitting in our lodge watching the most amazing sunset over Annapurna South. Annapurna South, although only 7260 meters is a very technical mountain to climb and the fatality rate of mountaineers who have tried is huge. Lucky for us we are only going to the base!!!
Tomorrow morning we have a 5am start to climb Poon Hill at 3200 meters. Here we will have a 360 degree view of the Himalaya mountain range as the sun comes up.
We are in a beautiful lodge tonight. The photo of Annapurna South was taken from the verandah.
