I've lost a dear friend on this trail. Can you contact me and share these to 'wrobel221' at gmail?Michał Wróblewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16679533056978895504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678986.post-57119832285117144732009-12-11T18:53:05.202+00:002009-12-11T18:53:05.202+00:00Thanks Pete, and thanks for the prompt about the m...Thanks Pete, and thanks for the prompt about the missing photos! Don't worry, I do have hundreds more where they came from, I just ran out of steam with the blog post and haven't got round to adding any of them to my Flickr sets. As it happens this time I took a spare camera battery to Nepal so there was no chance of the camera packing up. On the acclimatisation side of things, David had no problems whatsoever, but I had seriously problems from Day 2, although I'm not sure it was just the altitude. I think it was a mixture of AMS and a cold virus that got into my system. I had blinding headaches every night from Namche to Gokyo, far worse than my previous trips. And I'm still feeling exhausted several weeks later, with ongoing sinus pain and migraine-like headaches, so any running is out of the question, and it's unlikely I'll make the Portobello Prom on NYD, however I'm sure I'll catch up with you in the new year. All the best, ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07603180830781000928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12678986.post-10806941827662608502009-12-11T14:42:19.376+00:002009-12-11T14:42:19.376+00:00Hi Chris,

It sounded great though reading between the lines it sounded like you were both suffering from the altitude. Which makes sense given the speed you went round. We did it more slowly in 2007 (Everest Marathon) and it still knocked us for 6 on the bad days. The photos were great and made me want to go back, though I was disappointed no photos for the last few days entries. (We helicoptered out of Namche so never saw below) Did the camera batteries die or what? Sorry to hear you have sinus problems. Expect to see you back to form for early next year. (Tortoise and Hare in Fife? Though neither you nor Ellie qualify as Tortoises)Have a good christmas (if there is such a thing.) <br />cheers pbpbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01230034361158150771noreply@blogger.com
