After much discussion we decided to fly from Manchester Airport, due to close proximity to our places of gear storage and UK residence. 

We have 30kg of luggage in the hold which should cover most of our kit and allow us to import all essential food so we have less hassle in Kathmandu. 

In other news our incountry provider is organising internal flights so all seems to slowly be coming together. I have decided that swimming could be superb for training lungs to cope with higher altitudes and therefore am contemplating swimming in the sea on a regular basis while working up in Scotland.

We are also pleased to say that the Alpine Club has given us a grant towards our objective.

I would have liked to attached pictures of a recent wild camp of mine on top of Haystacks, however i made the mistake of not taking my camera so unfortunately cannot.
