Gav heading for base camp

Hi All,

We believe that Gavin is now heading back to Base for some well deserved R & R but then it's straight back down for the ceremonies for the Hydro project and the Monastery. Thank you all for your emails, online messages and calls for Gavin. I know he is really appreciative of all the support especially for Moving Mountains - none of the work that we do is possible without the continual support and help from everyone. If I can be cheeky enough to mention the direct debit forms online at www.movingmountains.org.uk - they really help us with our monthly outgoings to Kenya and Nepal!

A few have asked what Gavin's plans are now - well most people need a few months to recover physically from the severe altitudes of Everest but Gavin has other plans! Not being one to sit in one place for long Gavin flies back on the 8th June, he then has one day in Belfast before flying to Moscow to meet up with the Elbrus team. He then flies directly to Kili for the June expedition and then the Africamps and other Kili expeditions in July and the Moving Mountains expedition in August. By the end of August he will at last get a couple of weeks at home before travelling back to Nepal for two treks to Base Camp followed by a fantastic (and warm!) trip to Borneo in October! November allows him a month to relax before heading to South America with Steve Pinfield for a double whammy expedition on South America's two highest mountains Ojos del Salado and Aconcagua. Then the Sahara in March for the Solar Eclipse of the Sun Trek. There are still some places on the above expeditions if anyone has itchy feet! Next year he has another big sized expedition to climb Broad Peak in the Karakorum, Pakistan - he will also be taking a trek team into this very remote area. I'm sure though by the time Gavin gets back he'll have a whole new list to add to the above!

Gavin ran out of phone time yesterday but hopefully we'll be hearing more from him in the next couple of days and I'm sure he'll let us know how he's getting on. By the time he gets some sleep, good food and drops down to the oxygen rich airs he'll be feeling mighty.

Best Regards,

All at Adventure Alternative.
