Windy Bridge Crossing
l have just crossed this bridge and the wind was howling it was a bit terrifying, l have a small video of it but the sound is not so good because of the wind.

Amazing but bloody brutal.
At 11500 ft tonight but moving higher in morning.
Trekking up over 1200 ft over 7 hours.
But loving every bit so far
Tengboche Monastery
Tengboche at 14500ft
It’s a truly beautiful place but a brutal challenge.
But I’m doing well.
I’m at about 14500 ft now at a place called Dingboche.
I have been suffering a few headaches today due to the altitude,
but luckily we are here until Monday to acclimatise to the altitude.

I am so, so proud of you and all that you have achieved, and continue to achieve…
Thankyou for this Jason means alot.
