Hey Sam

Finally got back onto the system (Lost passwords etc)! Anyway….Sounds like everyone is off to a great start, must have been terrible waiting for the tents! I hope that you guys weren't too wet and uncomfortable waiting for them to arrive. Have you raided your cheese and biscuit stash yet? If it were me I don't think that I could have waited.

I have to tell you again how proud of you I am. You never cease to amaze me. You are determined, courageous, and inspirational. I look forward to seeing the footage of the trek upon your safe return.

Counting down the sleeps and following your progress every day. Go well and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Love

Shane

Everybody's been ringing to see how you are, Nana & Pop, Nana & Grandpa, Aunty Lea, Aunty Carol, Aunty Chris (Sydney), Hugh, Lisa, Mary, Nat & Aimee, Lea & Jess, Kim, Gloria, Gloria & Neville. They are all so very proud of you and are sending you all thier prayers.

We love you heaps and hope that today clears. Be safe and have fun. I'm sending you all my wishes so just hold onto the cross..

Please say "Hi" to all the kids and I hope they are all doing well and of course a big hello to Pete and Lisa and all the other adults. We are so proud of you all!!

All our love

Update 28th September: Heard from the track that trekkers spent last night at Agulogo and today were on their way towards Menari when they called in by sat phone.

All trekkers continue to do well with no problems whatsoever which is excellent news!

The way Clive spoke all were enjoying their trek.

Hello there Daniel
We are following your progress everyday with Lisa's radio updates mate. I know you must be buggered by now but loving every minute at the same time. Keep making every step count. We are so very proud of you. If its still raining and muddy rub the vaseline into your feet every time you have a break to prevent water logging of your skin. Can't wait to hear all your stories. Take care and look after your mates. Sue.

Keep smiling and showing that positive attitude of yours! Just as Bede encouraged you all.
We're right behind you!!!!
Hope you're feeling fine and having fun despite the mud.
Connie, Rebecca, Nanna, Silvia and Michelle, Mrs McCloud, Mrs Bradley, Lee-Anne, the Barbics, Mr Ryan, Sue, Terry, Ellen and even Liam have all asked after you and send their best wishes.
(Don't forget your layers at night.)
Give our best wishes to the KK's, Pete and Lisa.
