PictureRest break on the climb to Thengboche
We left the creature comforts of Namche this morning (we all had a beaut coffee prior to departure) and are now in Deboche @ 3,800mts. The day was absolutely beautiful with not a cloud in the sky as we hiked under the view of Everest. There were several on the trail this morning, probably the result of the cancelled flights earlier in the week.

The Thengboche climb was slow but steady. By the time we had reached the top, the clouds had came in and the temperature dropped significantly.

We are now sitting around an excellent warm fire. The temp outside is 0 and there is cloud rolling in. It's going to be a cold night. Reports from those coming down from Base Camp has temperatures reported down to minus 15-20..!!!

Tomorrow, we head up to the first of our high camps, Dingboche at 4,400mts amsl. Edging closer and closer to Base Camp.

Well done everyone. From now now on you are in the high stuff, and the view just before the river crossing you see this morning is one of the best Amadablham.

I'm loving the pictures and remembering the trek. I wish i was there with you guys. I'm sitting back enjoying my Nepalese tea, that Sue bought back in January... Of the taste & Scenery of Nepal, at a click of the key board away... Take care team, and the region gets more specky the higher you get...

Thanks.
Evgenia. Neil has read your response and will try to hunt down some wifi tonight.
Dis and Treeless. Thanks for the encouragement.

Communications will start to become a little scarse over the next 3 days. Both wifi and national carrier Ncel don't often reach into Dingboche and particularly Lobouche. We will try our hardest to update you on our progress tonight (we can sometimes buy some wifi at Dingboche).

    ​Hi all.

    Welcome to the 2017 EBC trip blog.

    David will update and post the progress of the team from their departure out of Melbourne to their slog up to Everest Base Camp at 5,545m amsl and then their safe descent and recovery back down.

    Feel free to access this blog and drop them a comment during their trip. Depending on the availability of WIFI on the way up, the team will be rapt to hear from you.
