A good day walking today, maybe not as hard as the last few days but none-the-less ups and downs. A steep descent down from Chhomrong over a swing bridge than a steep climb up for our morning tea stop 2 hours later.
My football strapping came in handy on Jason's knee as I tried to support it as best I could. He still is in a lot of pain and climbing the steps like a ladder favouring his good leg first. A credit to his toughness here. The options are he and Danielle slowly make their way back down with their Porter, or we put our travel insurance into place and get a chopper out for him. It just so happens that when we arrived in Dovan an Aussie doctor on his way back down had a look at his knee. It could be a Meniscus tear. He said he should try and continue and maybe look at a chopper evacuation from Base Camp.
It appears our new found mascot Carley found a group of Koreans to follow back down as she started off with us this morning, but we haven't seen her since lunch. Now it's fairly common she could show up in the morning wagging her tail ready to continue up with us.
Quote of the day goes to Evan......"I can't believe we've had "western boggers" all the way. Just missing those little hand dryers that blow warm air on your hands". Maybe you get those on the Everest trek David.!!.
A message from Sue to Andy to tell Liz about the blog and follow the journey.
John has a tiny case of Man Flu. But a little bit of sympathy has seen him get through the day.
