April 15th – Split Up

This morning Paul was much better, but we decided that a proper rest day was in order, so Hugo, Charlotte, Paul and Dendi all stayed in Dingboche. However Amit was keen to continue his acclimatization, so he and the two porters headed up to Lobuche, hopefully to meet up with Nawal. Also meeting in Lobuche should be one of the climbing Sherpa’s from our team – Karma, who has come down from basecamp to meet us. As if that’s not enough, another of our climbing Sherpa’s, Pemba should be arriving in Lobuche today. He has been down in Namche buying fruit and vegetables for our expedition and the market.
So High Adventure Expeditions’ team is pretty evenly split between Dingboche, Lobuche and basecamp. Tomorrow the Dingboche group will join the Lobuche group and then on Tuesday we should all arrive in basecamp. However, plans up here are always subject to change!!
Once we get to basecamp I think we’ll have the ability to send some pictures to the blog, so hopefully that will make this more interesting reading!
