After an early wake-up, the team flew from Kathmandu to Lukla.

A breathtaking flight from Kathmandu to Lukla

 They breakfasted at Namaste Lodge and then trekked from Lukla to Toktok.

Jess anxiously awaits take-off

 Today was probably surreal for many of the team members after all of the training, planning and anticipation for the trek into Base Camp.  Cherie called in to report that the weather was sensational and that everyone was in great spirits and doing beautifully.  They had arrived in Toktok, where they’ll be camping tonight.

Cherie will  be on SEN radio’s The Drive Home LIVE tomorrow between 4 and 5pm as she and the team trek up to Namache Bazaar.  Don’t miss it!
