Trip Report

Geddes Murray has posted a Trip Report, with some really superb photos on www.scottishhills.com

Day 1 The expedition started with the dreaded words when checking in at Aberdeen airportÖ.sorry lads the flight is delayed by 3hrs! A good job when we booked the flights we allowed plenty of time (Just). We eventually got ourselves round to Terminal 4 and rendezvoused with the expedition leader of the trip. We had booked the trip through Jagged Globe and the leader was a very experienced mountaineer called Adele Pennington. Her CV is a fair read and she is the only british women to have climbed Everest twice ñ first time as a client then the next time as the expedition leader. We also met the assistant leader called Simon Verspeak. Usually you would only have the main leader, but we had a minor in the group who was Alasdair and he was only 16 years old. So Simon was there to supervise the young lad and keep a watchful eye on the 6ft strapping youngster!!! But it was great to have Simon onboard who works mostly in the welsh mountains, he was good craic and had plenty stories to share. So we boarded the plane which was bound for New Delhi then onto to KathmanduÖÖ.. « | »
