Great achievements
We'll post more about today's wonderful (and very different)trek later.But for now two amazing achievements need to be recognised.
The first belongs to Alison and Trish - both on whom overcame a huge fear of heights to descend from the wall to the hotel we are staying in by "zip wire". Basically you get attached to a harness, hooked onto a wire suspended several hundred feet above a river and pushed off to tear down to the opposite bank far below!! Here are our two heroines in action (with a bit of help from a couple of hereos!) 
The next was the emotional and hugely successful "live link" to Newick House. Tears, smiles and laughter all round at our end as we talked live to the school assembly with many parents present too. We synchronised a PowerPoint presentation to tell the story of our trek so far. Kevin will say more about this later. It reminded us all why we were here - and made us forget the aches, strains and pains accumulated so far.

Hi guys. Brilliant live hook up today - very emotional. The faces on the kids was terrific to see and it was great to hear you all on such good form.
Best Regards
to all.

PS Claire, where are the spare plates?!!
Hello all, keep up the wonderful accomplishments. I'm so proud of you all especially my friend Mike. You all should be so proud of your achievements. Just remember the cause for the kids with autism. Love you and can not wait to hear the stories. Love Renee, Josephine, Emerson and Lillie
We are really proud of all your achievements and look forward to hearing your stories upon your return. Well done, particularly to Linz and Kevin. We are ordering radox and muscle rub in bulk!
Matt says any chance of chop suey, spring roll and prawn crackers whilst you're there!
Well done to Trish and Alison for going on the zip wire- it looks fearsome but must have been exhilirating (once it was over!).
Thank you all for the live link in assembly today. It was one of our best ever events at Newick House- a real feeling of belonging to a BIG worldwide community but through people we were close to and who understood...hard to explain. I was amazed at how well the whole school (even the littlest pupils in Yellow and Red Classes) listened to every word- they were genuinely interested and really taking it in. Of course the visuals in the powerpoint helped enormously. I had a few other things to do if the link didn't work out technically- like tasting some Chinese sweets- but there was no need for anything else because the talk between the countries went so well.
I think a little of the hero will be attached to each of you when you get back to the UK!
Thinking of you all- well done every one.
