Amy F & Christopher Ashton
We are Amy and Chris and as you may have gathered from reading our blog we are currently making our way around the world on this long anticipated trip! This trip has been in the planning for years now; it's our passion, our obsession, and the source of endless worry for our poor parents. It's influenced our lives from the books we read to the genre of films we watch, it's inspired language courses and beard growth (Amy and Chris respectively), and has replaced conventional pillow talk with the "Where will we go?" game. Our blog is primarily for family and friends, but we are always fla... full info

A True Adventure
An absolutely captivating blog with glorious images. It is wonderful that you were able to share this with your father; you are very fortunate that he shares your passion for exploration and adventure, he seems a remarkable man. I'm sure the memory of your shared trek will remain strongly ingrained in your memory forever, and whenever you reminiscence about these ten remarkable days in the future, a contented smile will always gladden your face.

I'm very lucky to have had the chance
Not many get the opportunity to do this with their father so I count myself very fortunate. We've always been close and this experience will be remembered for a long time! (He's talking about Everest now...from the Tibet side!) I think he's caught the travel bug...it is rather contagious!

Hi, from Argentina
Excellent. Very useful blog. I am not going to do that kind of trekking but I think you described it so well that you deserve a prize, haha What a landscape. But what I like most is the people, always the people. Hugs from Argentina. Graciela.

Beyond my dreams
Your story extremely well told and illustrated. Congratulations to both, you - and your adventurous father. A little late now for me to excperience the wonders of this remakable journey, though we keep taking on a few strenuous hikes! Sadly we can't turn the clock back.

Thanks again Dave
Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you, we've allowed ourselves to get too far behind with these comments. It was a great experience doing the trek with my dad, I speak with him over skype now and he's still nostalgic about it...it'll live long in the memory. If you go to Nepal, I can't recommend this trek enough! Hope you're well!
