This was the start of a momentous 24hrs for all of the group..
A shorter trek initially this morning as we headed towards our Summit Base Camp. We,ve finally settled into some sort of routine as a group, and the porters were particularly atttentive with hot water bowls and cups of tea this morning, which hasn't always been the case up to now.
Most of the group are OK, although Steve B is feeling the effects more than most.
Our morning trek took us to Barafu Huts, a steep climb preceeded by a gentle valley stroll. Lunch somewhat remarkably was prepared for us behind the main hut, and a more exposed spot you'd do well to find.
Still the warm pasta was very welcome, and certainly a source of energy we'd only truely appreciate later in the day..
We huuried down our offering as the wind whipped round our gathering, and not a moment too soon set off on our final steep walk to our base camp for the next few hours at 4800m.
