Sun 26th Feb....No Wifi

Hi blog followers, It's Sue, David sister.  Given we haven't heard anything from the team we can assume no Wifi in the village of Dingboche (4410mt).  It's here they will spend two nights, with today being an acclimatisation walk up to a village called Chhukhung (4730mt) before descending back down to Dingboche for another night.  As far as steepness goes, today's walk is relatively "easy" with a gradual climb over a couple of hours.  I use the term "easy" because it would be if you were at sea level.  Given they are now above 4400 metres it certainly won't be an easy walk, but more a necessity to help their bodies acclimatise to higher up with their next stop tomorrow at Lobuche (4940mt).  David did manage to forward me a photo yesterday from their lunch stop.

Good work with the blog, Didi. Spoken like a true leader and no mention of Bill Brown. By the way he won at golf yesterday and sent me a text to make sure I read his name in the newspaper this morning.

Watching your progress intently! Best of luck for some fantastic views as you creep slowly higher. It looks like you have a fairly decent week of weather ahead!

I've just started reading the blog, and starting to get itchy feet.
Looks like you are all having a great time (as is expected with David).
Wish i was there again this year.
Safe trekking everyone! I hope the weather is kind to you for your ascent to KP.

    ​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. 

    Cheers.

    David & Sue
