Thursday over - News of the day from Raj

Just amazing - views, experience and the overall atmosphere. Jhinuk thanks for your encouraging text message - a real boost, so keep sending, apparently tomorrow is
harder with lots of step and an early start, 3am in the morning???

I would like to thank all my sponsors for the support towards Trekchina 2007. It is truly a team effort and met so many nice people in this trip. It is the encouragement from the team and BIG support from Bag packers made me complete the trek.

Kevin - thanks for giving me the opportunity and helping to meet such good friends.


Weather today started with cloud and rain, around midday weather was misty and the rising of clouds/fogs was a brilliant view and at certain points walls at front were
not visible. Cloud lifted as the day progresses - the day ended with Zip ware while sliding down from the cliff to the base hanging onto to rope only. We all survived.

Finally, I must share the way Ken conquered the “Little B’” in 30 seconds; stiff climb of around 100 or so steps - it was exciting to watch than the so called 39 Steps movie. I did it in 3 minutes, obviously others took longer!!!.

Bye for now from China and keep watching the blog.

Raj

Hi Baba,
So, finally a blog from you!! I've taken a look through the pictures- how have you managed to be at the front for almost, if not every, group photo (i feel a joke coming here, but i will spare you as you are doing so well on the trek!) Really well done to you and everyone! So far you've all made the trek sound like a walk in the park , which I'm sure is not the case! Keep it up! x

It all sounds so wonderful and having just come away from the Newick House Assembly we could all (around 250 of us) hear the happiness in everyones voice who spoke to us back in th UK. What an amazing thing you have all done and I marvel at the extra opportunities you will all help to give the pupils at the school. One last day to go so keep on Trekking, I know all the relatives and friends can't wait to see you home safely and look forward to hearing about your adventures face to face. Love to Melinda of course xxxx

Go Raj! Good luck for the next stage. The trek looks fantastic and I wish I was there although perhaps only for a short walk!
