A very warm welcome to this, the first blog post, for the St Luke's Six Base Camp Trek!
It's actually more of a test to see if I've set it up right, but hopefully it'll spur peeps to join us as online followers for the weeks ahead.
We leave Leicester this coming Sunday, 10th January 2010, heading for Heathrow T4. If I can find a way of doing it there'll be an itinerary link on this blog somewhere where you can download a full schedule of our movements (no, not those!) over the next 3 weeks. Internet connection details are still unconfirmed for the route, so it may well be that we write the blog as we travel but then upload it all in one large lump... please bear with us though & keep coming back - something will appear at some point!
Ooh, I've just spotted a link button... try this:
Itinerary: St Luke's Six, Everest Base Camp 2010
Needless to say, your prayers for our safety - & for that of our families in our absence - would be hugely appreciated. If you felt able to sponsor us too, then please take a minute to look at the following links & let us know which you'd like to support if you have a preference, or we can just share any sponsorship you make between the two:
A sponsorship form is attached to the itinerary link above, so feel free to use it just for you or to add other names as well. Hand the completed form to any of us upon our return. If any sponsorship is Gift Aided we'll get an extra 28p for every £1 donated, so please bear this in mind too.
Right, well I think that's all for now. Hopefully we'll see you back here again soon :-)
GB,
The St Luke's Six
