Saturday - daily log

The trek might be over - but we have much more to show you and to tell you.
Next week we'll "fill in the gaps" with new photos and video and update the interactive maps with more things for the kids (old and young) to play with! We have LOADS of pictures from today and yesterday afternoon.

We also have to tell how our fund raising efforts are progressing (many many thanks to EVERYONE who has sponsored us this week through the web site – you’re help is so very much appreciated)

No time today though!

We have just finished our celebration dinner. An emotional affair with very touching speeches from Kevin, several of the trekkers and the staff of Newick House. That all deserves a blog posting of its own too.

In the meantime we leave you a picture of our special prize – awarded each day to the trekker who managed to do the daftest thing! It’s a plastic tiara that Claire brought especially for the purpose! Today it was awarded to the Humphreys twins and to their good friend Pete. In a rush to get back to the hotel from a shopping trip – they hurriedly paid their taxi driver and dashed through the revolving doors into the hotel lobby. Unfortunately the driver had taken them to the wrong hotel – and they didn’t even noticed!! They made it back with 20 minutes to spare before dinner. (They’ve kept us energised and entertained all week – but this won them the award outright).
