Paul's just made his last call before departing for his summit attempt. He's extremely excited, a little apprehensive of what lies ahead, but can't wait to start his push for summit and get to the top of the world.
He'll leave at 4am tomorrow morning (11pm tonight LDN), so an early start, making his way to the Khumbar Ice Fall. Paul will reach Camp 2, hopefully around lunchtime tomorrow and he's hoping to cross paths with some of the friend's he's made over the last two months, who summited last night and this morning.
He spent today packing all the necessities, haribo sweets were at the top of the list and practising with the oxygen. Once again he had his favourite meal, Dal Bhat (spicy lentil curry and rice). I've found an authentic recipe and hopefully he's able to bring some of the more unusual spices back with him, so we can make it at home, although I'm sure his mum's roast dinner and a visit to Pizza Express, will be top of the food agenda!
If you haven't done so already, please, please, please donate what you can to http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=dosummitgood&isTeam=true.
Paul has worked so hard, physically, mentally and emotionally to get where he is. Climbing Mount Everest is an unbelievable challenge to take on, but the children and wounded soldiers he's doing this for face daily challenges beyond our comprehension, so please show your support.We really do appreciate it as do the charities involved.
I'll update you again, as soon as I get any news.
Thanks
Natalie
