The wanderer returns!

Proof positive!

The Summit!

Text msg. received from Peter today: .We all made it to the top this morning, but it's been a savage day starting at midnight so it hasn't really sunk in yet.  Mission accomplished!

Unlike the celebs we have to make our own way down... will celebrate tomorrow and then maybe a safari... Pete'

4600 metres!

Sarah got a text from Pete today (apparently a small window of signal opened up) that they've reached 4600 metres.  They haven't had any signs of altitude sickness, which is a good sign apparently.  And it's now very cold...  And Happy Birthday to Sarah!

First news of the trip!

Waiting for our visas at the namanga border. The guard didn't like Jonny's face. All safe and having a great time. Please tell sarah I miss her. Love pete x

Some inspiration for the road

Sir Ranulph Fiennes (Ralph to close friends) sawed two of his frostbitten fingers off in his shed with a hacksaw.  That's British fighting spirit.

In a similar vein, Pete is going to the gym tomorrow for a punishing work out amidst the Italian muscle boys.  Although he is by far the buffest there, he is still pushing his physique to the very limits, inspired by Ralph.  Apparently, it's thirty per cent what you lift and seventy per cent what you eat...

Four months to go!

One question people have asked this week is:  will all of my money go to the charity?

The answer is yes! ;-)
