The trek begins! Manchester to Phadking

Edward and Anne are off! On Thursday they flew out, arriving in Kathmandu on Friday after a long layover in Doha, a wait for baggage and a power cut. An early start on Saturday morning got them into Lukla on a Twin Otter just before flights were stopped due to bad weather. Day one to Phakding was completed and today the long trek to Namche Bazaar is underway. Here are some photos so far (Thanks to fellow trekker James Phillips for some of those) and thanks so much for the donations that keep coming in. I'll continue to update the blog with updates from the team where I can but can't help feeling a bit jealous of the warm weather so far, though that will change quickly!
