We are now just 5 days out from Departure. I had requested the team have this weekend off just to relax and take it easy before our departure on Thursday. Not Simi and Shailendra..!! They were out on the 1000 Steps again this morning completing one last slog..!! And if I know those lads in Dubai, they will attack the gym a few more times before they depart on Thursday..!! Everyone......NO INJURIES...!!! The 2017 EBC team are physically ready for this trek. And with some good team support, I think we can help each other confront the mental pains that creep up on you as you go higher. If this blog is half as enjoyable as the ABC blog just completed, it will be a good one. Looking forward to you following us on our Everest adventure. (And yes, I'm preparing for your supporting, funny and often cheeky responses). |

Thanks Dis. It's not going to feel like an EBC trek without you, but I've got a ripper team regardless. Those butterflies just starting to flutter..!!
