Today was tough. It
was a day that really separated the men from the boys and the ill from the healthy.
As a group we reached 4,900 metres (and got the inevitable
team photo). The more adventurous/
energetic/ healthy then made an extra trip up to 5,000 metres. Just to say we had. In any case it’ll be something to tell my
son, even if I don’t mention the slightly weird photos we took.
It was a tough day where halfway through we could still see
our original camp, with many stragglers but we made it in the end. Thanks to our excellent sherpas, spiritual
support from the Dalai Lambton and no small supplies of determinations we did
it.
I could now tell you about setting up camp but that’s boring
so ill draw you a penguin instead.

Today as a team we achieved something which at times I
didn’t think we would. As a team we
became a contingent who trekked the highest ever from West Yorkshire
Scouts. An extremely emotional moment
and one which made me very proud to be a scout from West Yorkshire.
Today we also achieved one of the trips targets and a goal
which myself and Gaz worked so hard to achieve.
The team have been amazing and pulled together when needed. Once we had reached 4,900m it was so lovely
to see the energy and enthusiasm from those who wanted to get the extra mile
and achieved 5,000m. Thanks to all in
the team and well done!
Cant wait to see what adventures tomorrow brings.
