Hi guys. Am back in Kathmandu after an unreal 13 day trek in the Himalayas to Everest Base Camp, and climbing Kala Pattar to watch the sunrise over Everest. Will post some pics after I get home Thursday.

Just in time for the Halloween OWC as well!

Hey, congrats on a job well done, mate!

What a feat. Speaking of, how are those feet of yours? Looking forward to seeing the pics.
No doubt the denim cut-offs were left at home.    ;D

Lol Lib. I wore shorts for the first 5 days then wore some cool trek pants I bought. Feet were fine though I stubbed my toe descending Kala Pattar and it hurt all the way back to Lukla. May lose the nail but all good lol

Wearing the cutoffs now!  They missed me

Glad Yeti didn't get you, bro.

We definitely want pics, but you can hold onto the pics of your nastyass feet and we probably don't need to see the 80's denim cutoffs, either.

Welcome back!!!

The trek was to Base Camp, Pia.  We all made it. Then you climb Kala Pattar the next morn for Everest sunrise (temp was minus 10 C).  Then we start trekking back down

Lib, if you were on Facebook you would see a million pics I took plus some epic vids!

I took a vid coming back down Kala Pattar and the sun is peeking up behind one side of Everest and I zoom right in. It's unreal

Lol sorry Pia. My hands were still frozen so it was an effort to hold the phone!  Will upload some more vids over the next days

Some footage I shot every now and then on the trek using an Intova SP1 - like a Go Pro. Didn't edit or anything just adjusted the sound which is dodgy cos of the tiny speaker the camera has.

Very cool stuff - like walking in the heavens

Here's my finished trek video. Didn't get right into the editing as Lightworks can be complex! Couldn't use Youtube cos theres copyrighte songs in the soundtrack and Vimeo was out too as I would've had to pay cos of the length lol

If the link isn't working let me know  cheers

Yep, it was you! I wish I was halfway as adventurous.

Kokoda, Nepal... What's the next planned expedition?

Haven't done Kokoda, Lib and not keen for it lol. when you've been tot he top the only thing next is second best - K2 Base Camp in Pakistan. But its tougher, longer and more brutal than EBC  lol

Who was it I knew did Kokoda then? Oh well, you could have just pretended that was you too.  ;D
