| 17th November 2007 EverestBaseCamp | Sorry - From: Country roads, take me home 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? |
| 18th January 2007 Alan Taylor | Bloody Scots!! - From: Country roads, take me home 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 |
| 28th November 2006 John Hatchard | Your sickness - From: Sickness strikes 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 |
