Denbosche 4350m-lobuche 4900m
| started the day feeling much better than last night. after managing to put away some porridge and 2 hard boiled eggs we
performed the usual warm up routeen and then set on our way to Lobuche. Headache tablets and diamox on board the going for
the first hour was tough, climbing directly up from Denbosch about 150m. Steps are small and slow at 4500m. Once over the
ridge above Denbosche the walk leveled out and we folloewd the valley for about 2hours till we arrived at Dugle 4620m for
lunch. Lunch consisted of Noodle soup followed by fried rice. Stu and Martin managed to eat theirs while I still not feeling
great only managed a small amount. Skankness excelled herself again by dropping her sunglasses down the toilet
(a hole in the floor)
The after lunch the trek took us immediately up around 200m, again slow hard progress. Once over the ridge we came across the
churum which is a memorial for climbers and sherpas that have died in the mountains. From here on the going was fairly easy
(or as easy as trekking can be at 5 kilometres up) We were pleased to find a nice warm Tea House waiting for us.
It's 4.35 now. Dinner is at 6:30 tonight and we will by having an early night as it is an early start in the morning for
our trek to Everest Base Camp.
