Update 11th May, 2005;

Trek 65 – Private Trek

The trekkers, porters and guide are currently at Myola Junction having lunch. Everyone?s ok, no ones injured or have any problems they are all doing great.

They will most likely spend the night there (Myola Junctions), but if a decision is made and they decide to move on a little further, we?ll update you on that.

But otherwise they are now at Myola Junction and that?s where they will camp for the night.

Trek 59 – Ross Cochrane?s Trek

All trekkers are doing well; everyone did ok yesterday 11th May, including the trekker who sprained her ankle. She said that, she?s feeling a bit ok and no doubt she?s going to make it out, so that good news.

They spent the night at Templeton?s Crossing 1 and today they will proceed on to their next destination.
