Leaving Dingboche... and itching to go

If you're not already following the Big E blog, Tim's latest post focuses on oxygen levels and itching to hit the trail to Base Camp – oh, and not a single tea house for five or six weeks!  Let's hope they've packed some chocolate doughnuts!

His final paragraph makes it all sound so simple:

'All we need to do now is get acclimatised to above 6,500m, spend many uncomfortable nights in various tents on the hill in desperately cold conditions with frost coating the inside of the tents, keep fit and healthy, stay hydrated, get all our kit and equipment to the right places on the hill, stay safe and wait for the weather window. Easy as pie!'

So off they set from Dingboche...
