Bloody Scots!!
Hi Gareth, I have just read all of your journal. A jolly wheeze aswell. It's been two months since we achieved our goals. Life is almost normal again, and I am trying to put some photos together. Any chance of some of yours? Remember I did do some good spotting for you . Hope all is well with you and like me, there is not an ounce of brain wanting to go back. Alan

Your sickness
Ha! I thought - you didn't escape ! I had a similar problem but it hit me after i got back into India. By the time I got to Varanasi I had a full blown fever and weakness from something I had eaten or drunk while in Nepal. Or maybe I just stuck my finger in my mouth in a thoughtless moment. I don't know. But i felt really RS as thay say in Australia on and off for the rest of my trip around the subcontinent. It actually troubled me for another four years or so after returning home but then cleared up. Just thought I would cheer you up! But you've done well. And the points you make about religions etc doing more and talking less about helping nations like Nepal are right on. Hillary and Hollows are two who have done more than most in this respect and outside the churches or temples etc as far as I know. As for losing weight, When I got home from India I was 50 years old and weighed about the same as I did at the age of 18. And felt good about it too. But it has all gone back on of course. All the best Gareth John

Well done, Gareth!
What an achievement, well done. We're all proud of you here in the office - we've been looking forward to your blogs. Glad to hear you're better now (and you can imagine Graham's relief!). Hope you enjoy your last couple of days there.

Reading your words puts me at rest even if I am sad to know that it was (is) so difficult for you. I will be pleased when you will be back at your home. xx Carole

OMG
I hope you are feeling better Gareth. Good grief, what a thing to go through, but like you say it makes you sit up and appreciate how lucky we are in the western world. We are all so very proud of you and have missed you terribly, feeling as though we are with you in spirit though. Love always, Cher and Boys x

Great Gareth
With so much motivation, this travel is the concrete realisation of your "engagement". I am proud of you. I know that you will not stop there. Maybe are you less selfish that you believe it;) Je te souhaite beaucoup de bonheur et des rencontres fructueuses. x Carole

Gareth, I'm rooting for you coping with the altitude, and having a fantastic experience on your way to the high point of the trip. Look forward to hearing your account when you get home, and hearing more about the difference your fund-raising will make. Zoe

Simply amazing
Hi G, I think it is simply amazing what you are doing. I'm really proud for you and this blog is a fantastic way to give your friends and family a very small insight into a hugely different way of life for the people of Nepal. Look forward to seeing you on the otherside of the mountain some time.

Sorry
Alan I'm really sorry I haven't got back to you, I stopped checking this site some time ago and I've just gone back into it. Now just about ready to start another one, i've decided to do the arctic survival challenge in 2009, figure the survival skills may be useful. No problem on the photos i'll burn all I have off for you, what's your address. How have you been keeping? Apologies again G How are you?
