Sun 1st Mar - Lobuche 4900 metres

1/3/2020

Hi, Sue again.....given I have had no communication from David today, we can assume still no WIFI or phone carrier.  

This morning they will have left Dingboche for Locuche.  It's a steep climb out of Dingboche, before it becomes quite a gradual climb to a tiny village called Thukla.  Here they will either stop for an early lunch or make it just a tea stop before the slow steep climb up the moraine and over Thukla Pass to where a memorial site sits on top.  These memorials have been set up by family members as well wishers of climbers who have lost their lives trying to summit Everest.  Among them are the names of Scott Fisher and Rob Hall to name a few.  

They will arrive into Lobuche and hopefully get a good nights sleep before they set off for Gorek Shep in the morning.  Tomorrow they should receive a phone carrier as they get closer to Gorek Shep and may also have access to WIFI.  

Again I have gone through my library and posted a couple of photos of todays walk and the village of Lobuche......Well and truly above the tree line now at 4900 metres its just rock and dirt.  The weather maps are telling me it will be minus 15 in Lobuche tonight......I wonder if Matt is kicking himself he didn't hire the expedition suit now.

Haha I bet he is - the man who has an internal heater and doesn’t feel the cold might be a teensy bit chilly by now! Can’t wait to hear how they’re all going. I’m at Melbourne airport at the moment starting my journey to Kathmandu! Namaste. Vicki

I’ll sure they will have enough gear to keep warm. David said you were heading over to meet up. Enjoy the experience.

Maybe it’s good David doesn’t have internet as he wouldn’t have heard about Richmonds dismal loss against Collingwood in the pre-season.

I was not going to mention that but since you brought it up.
You are doing a great job putting us in the picture with your blogs, Didi
