ENG : As you might know, our challenge walk from Kathmandu to EBC has been a success. And we're on our way back (now in Namche Bazaar, tomorrow, Lukla probably to get our plane on 8/5) to Kathmandu.
Norbert has been altitude-sick at the wrong moment and he turned back two hours away from the Base Camp. It was a safe decision, and Joseph and I have been expected him on the day after and went back on the 2 of May to Gorak Shep to wait for him, doing the Kala Pattar underway.
On the 2-3-4 of May I passed around expeditions team, met people from Discovery Channel, Himex , First Ascent , 7 summits , Asian Trekking (Apa Sherpa) , adventure consultants and IMG where I discussed with an astronaut . He knew Nasa doing tests in the Simpson desert and was impressed by my walk.
But most of all each time I took the liberty to speak about our cause: the Nepal Mobile Hospital. And for the climbers I explained how having some Acticoa chocolate could be a plus for their summit day.
On the biggest tasting day (03/05) I was sick as I vomited everything I ate, and on the 4th I felt better and could finally film the last bit of tasting. We left EBC around noon and pushed hard to Pheriche arriving at 7pm.
This morning it was Joseph's turn to be sick. We use walkie-talkies to keep in touch when walking. But I had to be in Namche for some photos. I'll sleep high (for reception) in the tent tonight above Namche and will leave the sat phone on for any interview. Joseph is not too far from Namche and he should make it by noon tomorrow; if not, I go back and get him. I'm very careful with the food now, eating just packs of noodles. I just hope we might all the 3 of us be reunited tomorrow in Lukla or the day after.
We hope all people reading this blog Will forward it to friends and Their Hopefully do a donation for Nepal The Mobile Hospital.
FRA : As you know now, we have succeeded in our challenge was to reach the Base Camp of Everest from Kathmandu. We are now on the way home (now in Namche Bazaar to Lukla tomorrow for our plane normally take the 8 / 05) to Kathmandu. Norbert was sick at the wrong time and it's down to two hours from Base Camp. The decision was the most reasonable and safe. Joseph and I have waited the next day and we returned on May 2 to Gorak Shep for the wait, making the Kala Pattar on the road.
2, 3 and 4 May, I met with shipments on site, people from Discovery Channel, Himex , First Ascent , seven summits, Asian Trekking (Apa Sherpa) , consultants and people from the IMG which an astronaut. He knew that NASA was testing in the Simpson Desert and was impressed by the crossing.
Most importantly, every time I took the time to talk about our cause: Mobile Hospital Nepal. For climbers, I explained how have chocolate Acticoa could be a plus for their climbs. The day major tasting (03/05), I was sick and I vomited everything I ate. 4, I felt better and was able to film the last part of the tasting.
We left base camp around noon and walked at a steady pace to reach Pheriche to 19h.
This morning it was Joseph's turn to fall ill. We use walkie-talkies while driving to stay in touch. But I had to be at Namche to take pictures. I'll sleep in height (for satellite reception) in the tent tonight around Namche and I'll leave the phone open for satellite interviews. Joseph is not very far and it should reach me by tomorrow noon, otherwise I'll get it back. I am very careful with the food now and I swallow as noodles.
We should be meeting every three tomorrow or after tomorrow to Lukla. We hope all people reading this blog will share with their friends and can do something for the Mobile Hospital.
