Just to let you all know that the landslide in Nepal as reported on the BBC is NOT anywhere near the expeditioners or any routes that their itinerary will take them on.
They are all very well, indeed a text from them just now reports:
..just arrived at the end of day 2 on trek at the Ghandruk Guest House. All group are fit and well. Lots of photos being taken of the wildlife and culture around them. Food is a good mix of UK and Nepali, the majority of the team are trying all the Nepali options. Woke this mornign to overcast sky, but this cleared before 8am to reveal the majesty of teh Annapurnas and spectacular views fo the Sacred Fishtail Mountain. Machapachure. This afternoon sees them exploring the village and even trying on some of the local dress!
Thank you very much for that timely reassurance. Loving the idea of the food, the mountains - and who could possibly resist the mention of trying on of the local dress?! My mind is now officially boggling! Photographic evidence soonest, please!
