Dear Carl and Nic,
Well, we did it! Lhasa - Kathmandu via Everest Base Camp in 26 days. I would have posted more regularly and given you updates but no blogging aloud in China! Can't download any pics in Nepal either (not the gov't but technology!). There are pics at http://www.trikesrw.com/ and on my facebook page. But i'll post some photos when I get back to Tassie next week.
The trip was more than either me or Carol Hurst could have dreamed. Bloody tough as well. Especially the road up to Everest which was 100km of bowling ball strewn and pot-holed dirt. There were moments when both of us felt like giving up, like wheels spinning on sand nearing the top of another 5000m pass, but i suppose both of us are stubborn buggers!
The film should be awsome as Sharyn Jones worked tirelessly to get the shots. Look out for the Bollywood ending!
