Nepal - Jagged Globe teams update

We currently have six Jagged Globe teams still in Nepal who are moving towards Kathmandu. We are in touch with all of their next of kin, passing on information when our groups phone in. Our Mera and Island Peak team crossed the Zatrwa La pass this morning and are now in Lukla. The bulk of our Everest team + Grand Journey Productions is in Namche, though some members are already in Lukla. Chris Groves headed down to Pangboche today, whilst David Hamilton remains in base camp, trying to salvage as much equipment as he can. The Ghurka 200 team is safe and secure in base camp. Our two Dhaulagiri groups have been instructed to descend back the way they came from Italian Base Camp, rather than continue into the higher mountains and are making their way back to Pokhara. Paul Greenan, who was injured at Everest Base Camp, was due to be flown by air ambulance from Kathmandu today. This didn't happen, but we expect both him and Nick Talbot to be flown out of Nepal tomorrow.
