Friday morning

It is 5.55am and I am at Tower 7 (of 11) at Simatai on the final morning.
For me this is the end of the trek. The main group have moved on to reach
Tower 11, we all having left the hotel at 4.30am in the dark.

There is huge team spirit in the group with everyone encouraging each other
to achieve their own personal firsts. From that perspective this week has
been a huge success.

However we could not have got here without the huge support of those at
home both before and during the trek. Many peope have helped Joy and I on
the project and we are grateful to all of them, especially Deb and Matt who
have been very supportive and encouraging.

Yesterday's live link with Newick House was very emotional and a great
chance to speak to our families. From here it is back down to the hotel,
pack and into Beijing. It has been a great week, now time to finish safely
and celebrate everyone's success.
