INDIA

For those of you that don't know, we go to India for five weeks before our trek in Nepal starts. UCA Photography graduates were given the chance to apply for an exchange programme with (NID) National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad so we jumped on that opportunity pretty fast. These images are by Gian, one of the guys who are in India now with the first group. We really like his blog, so check it out! http://kutrokutro.tumblr.com/

More thermals and fleeces

Anne Foden

I was at work last Saturday when I met Anne Foden. 

Anne is the first person I have met who has done base camp, purely by chance she noticed the poster I had out at work about fundraising. I was pretty happy as most people don't take any notice! Long story short we've exchanged emails and Anne has filled us in on what to expect when we set off. I'm particularly looking forward to the nights in the teahouses with the windows frozen on the inside! Got some photos too!

Brothers

  

         

As Lucy said, thank you to the brothers. I wouldn't have been able to stay as focused as I have been with training without Tom. So THANK YOU brother Harman xxx

Big up the Brothers!

See Eric Mytton in the background of the first photo, he may look like a little baby but he has the biggest buns of steel for a 12 year old and muscles as solid as concrete. Tonight I let him put me through some training...

Above: While I am doing some backwards plank exercise, Eric hits my stomach with a football. Apparently it makes my stomach muscles stronger? I think it's payback for something!

I know Louise's brother Tom is making her work muscles she never knew she had.

Big up to the HARMAN AND MYTTON BROTHERS!

Tom, Harry and Eric!

...and relax.

Please keep donating and help mend broken hearts

Street Collection: £79.39

I spent 4 hours along Gentlemens Walk in Norwich with my mum today. Me wearing the t-shirt and mum covered in balloons. Both ready with collection boxes and stickers.

Together we made £79.39, which I don't think is too bad for a first time.

Plus, bonus for my mum who had some 'sexy' market man show her a photo of his body on his phone.

While I got chatted up by the man collecting rubbish.

Thank you Norwich for your donations and Abi and Darren at Deck the Halls. Every little helps!!

RUN

The day means get up and go to work, the night means go out and run.

Hey now, take your pills and

  Hey now, make your breakfast

Hey now, comb your hair and off to work

Crash land, no illusions, no collision, no intrusion

My imagination run away.

Enjoy some R.E.M.

You are a Heavy Load

A great way to break in hard leather boots

Want

Baby got back...

 

Being such a prominent and well recognized body part, it’s easy to forget the fact that your butt performs very important muscular functions. There are 3 main muscles in each of your buttocks: Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius and Gluteus Minimus! These are the muscles that are going to get us to the top! No joke, power is in the butt! The bigger the better! So get on a bike! or get doing some squats and then roll around on the floor in pain after.

Devoted to Roy Agyei!

Full of surprises as usual, this is Roy pulling up his pants after giving me a lap dance that obviously I was totally comfortable with! Well, kind of ;) Thank you for giving us £50.00 big ones! You are a legend. End. xxx

More Thank you's!

Mary Dymond! and My Aunty Kerry and family! We are rolling up to the £500.00 mark now! xxx

Thank you Mr and Mrs Spencer!

Thanking the new Mr and Mrs Spencer! I didn't get a chance before to do a decent post! See you soon Lovebirds :) Lou xxx

OUR FLIGHT

 

To start our trek we have to fly to a place called Lukla. This airport has a reputation for being one of the most dangerous in the world, the runway is at a 12 degree angle and at the end is a 700 meter drop. I'm pretty much going to be singing Disney songs and calling for my mum when the engine starts. I'm hoping Lucy has already made the decision as to which colouring in book she will be bringing to keep me occupied. For now though, here is a great video (despite its title) of a take off from Lukla.

STUFF JUST GOT SERIOUS

 We've got head torches... and we are not afraid to use them. Looking forward to getting these bad boys out for some rambling around in the dark up on that big hill they call 'Everest'

Bags, Boots and Rab

The essentials for the trek are a good down jacket, sturdy boots and a pretty big bag.

Your probably all wondering why I'm not a professional model!

And although that massive hood looks pretty silly,  it will come in very handy at high altitude.
"If you are not active, you are more likely to have a heart attack than someone who is active. Being active provides long term benefits for you heart health and general health." BHF

With that in mind I'm off for a bike ride in this mild month of November- minus the boots, bag and jacket
