Nepal Earthquake Update - 30th April 2015 @ 1803 BST

The Dhaulagiri team, led by Rob Wymer, is now in Darbang. Rob's team will travel to Pokhara tomorrow, where they'll wait until they're due to fly out of Kathmandu. The private Dhaulagiri group arrived in Pokhara today and will be making their way home over the weekend.

In the Khumbu, David Hamilton and our Everest Sherpa team have now left base camp and have made it to Namche. Most of the rest of the Everest team are still in Lukla and are hoping to fly out tomorrow, via Biratnagar to Kathmandu. Larger Jetstream aircraft are able to fly out of Biratnagar, which is further east of Kathmandu. This is of course still dependent on the weather, which has been the cause of much of the delay at Lukla, as it hasn't been very good over the past few days. Paul, who was airlifted from Kathmandu yesterday by the Norwegians, is now in Oslo and Richard, who was also injured at base camp, has made it to Kathmandu. Nick is due to fly home tomorrow.

The Mera and Island Peak team, led by Alex Langdon, are also patiently waiting in Lukla and are hoping to fly back to Kathmandu tomorrow or Saturday, weather allowing.
