Hi Dave & the Team!!

Great job and glad to hear your excitement and satisfaction on completing this adventure! We are very jealous and can't wait to hear all about it and see all the photos.
This site is fantastic in capturing the finer details and makes us feel that we have snuck aboard in your suitcase!

Take care and enjoy the beers.

Congratulations fellas, I'm sure you're all feeling a great sense of achievement and acomplishment right now and deservedly so!

It's been some time since I last checked in on what you'd been up to and I've spent the last hour or two catching up. What an absorbing read!! I'm always entertained by Darren's stories about his trips, but they're always written after the event. Reading about your journey as it's unfolding has been even better, I couldn't stop reading!

And Darren, as much as it pains me to have to say this, it appears I may owe you an apology. It seems that people actually want to know about the toilet stories... Don't start gloating just yet, I said maybe. Some seemed to agree with me, then there was those that were asking...?

Looking forward to seeing some photos and reading about how the climb went.

PS I still haven't found another job, but I've been seconded to a water recycling plant project, not too far from home, so work's better than it was and I get to go to a third christmas party :)

Hi Five,

Congratulations.........what else can I say? What an amazing journey.

Dave, ever since we met I have admired your adventurous spirit. You chase your dreams harder than any person I know. You never give up, not even when your dreams seem impossible. So when you are enjoying a beer to celebrate tonight, remember that I am celebrating with you....not just for this achievement but for all of them and the ones I know are destined for your future.
Congratulations on having the guts to grab life by the balls..

You're the best man I know.

All my love.
