Just a quick one as this is costing a lot!!
Arrived at Dingboche today afetr two good days from Namche. On Friday we walked to Deboche, where we shared a lodge with an American film crew making a documentary; the crew included Ed Viesters (quite a famous mountaineering film maker) and also Dave Hard, the guy who discovered George Mallory's body. Yesterday, we trekked up to Pangboche via Ama Dablam basecamp, which was a tough but very satisfying day.
We are now going to spend four days at Dingboche doing acclimatisation walks before we carry on up the valley towards basecamp.
I'm still feeling great and so far I've sufffered no ill effects.
I'll blog again before we leave Dingboche.
