Well our first departure is upon us. Sari leaves the UK tomorrow to begin yet another exciting phase of her already adventurous year. She will be flying to Almaty KAZ on Monday and should arrive in Kyrgyzstan by Tuesday. There she will put the group kit into ITMC storage and set off on some mountain orientated trip no doubt. We will then meet her in Bishkek at the beginning of August: ruddy faced and mountain fit :).
Out freight also flies out on the same day! Thanks expedition foods for all your assistance and patience. It has taken us a few forms to fill in and a fair amount of tail chasing but we have gotten half way there. Now all we need to be able to do is pick up our stuff at the other end... without having to cut off an arm and a leg.
Eddy is off to the Alps tomorrow as well (it's a busy week!) to start his Conville Alpine training course. And I will be meeting him shortly afterwards in Saas Grund for about 10 days of Alpine fun (weather permitting).
Mike has done an excellent job of divvying up the group kit and will hopefully get some decent Lakes weather during July. And he looked a little like a pin cushion on Friday after seeming to get most of his jabs in a 1er...
And both he and Vanessa got their passports back after entrusting them to me.
Phew.
Vanessa has been sending us various gems of Med advice via email and keeping us in the loop with altitude issues.
Only a month to go now....
Sal..
