Bonjour! I've finally managed to log on to your blog! I've had technical issues with my laptop & this site. Nevermind I;m just waiting to go out for my work Christmas do & thought I'd log on. However after reading your latest blog I wish I hadn't! Thanks very much for the birthday msg & i'll look forward to seeing you @ New Year. Hopefully Peter you'll have a sorted a walk out by then - one expects a walk as good as last year please (& the butties too). I've got Tim in the secret Santa so i've got him whats he's always wanted! A big black male chicken! I'm going to read on now but thought I'd say hello! But after read the latest one will I be safe!

Thought your blog description was quite restrained! but yes, repulsive. Message to future travellers is go to Everest before going white water rafting! Polly, hope the bridemaid dress will still fit. Glad you seem to be managing a few more back packer delights before a good flight home.

Love Mum

I have to say, that latest blog is one of the most repulsive things i have ever read. Good work.

Looking forward to seeing you at new year.

Guys! Congrats on Everest!!! Well done!

Hope you're having a fab time - it certainly seems like it!!!!

Love from us all, Shep, Jen and Harry x x x

I miss you guys! Well done you - sounds absolutely incredible. Have sent this blog to my mum as believe it or not she's taking a trip to everest base camp next year so will be interesting for her to have a read too.

oh and petey-poo - happy belated (very now I imagine) birthday. Hope you had fun. Just got back from a week in Egypt - diving was amazing, but nothing in comparison to your adventures. See you both soon xxx

Thanks v much for the postcard - hope you're both doing well!

Well done you two. A great shame that one of Pete's finest moments was spoiled by the "czechoslovakia 1976" look, but still an awesome achievement! Photo's make it look unbelievable...cant wait to here all about it! Take care!

Tim & Katie xx

Have just read the blog. I knew I was worried but didn't realise quite how right I was! What a wonderful experience and achievement. It sounds pretty taxing but you seem to have taken it all in your stride (ha ha Dad's joke). It was wonderful to speak to you Polly and thank you so much for doing that. We are stunned by the photos and by the figures - 5,500 metres is awesome and I am not surprised your bodies went haywire. Thank god for sherpas. Take care and watch out for rabid monkeys round temples in Katmandu - horrid. remember to try and eat a meatless momo (if they still have them) for me! xx

Glad you are back safe and sound guys - sounds like an incredible trip, well done! xx

congratulations..you are both amazing. Everest base camp what a dream and then further. It just sounds wonderful will email at wkend when I have my own computer! Loved the blog, but I don't think it would serve as an advert for the treck. So, you think it's too hard for me then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xxxxx

Hi Pete and Polly

I always suspected there was a hint ofCommunism in you Peter! Sounds like your having a great time! Have become a keen follower of your blog now I have the correct e-mail. It sounds amazing.

When do you get back over christmas/new year? Take care both of you x

Okay, shouldn't you be back from base camp by now? Please do an updated blog asap so that we know you're okay! Hope you've had a great time, can't wait to hear all about it xxx
