So sorry to hear about Swati. Hang in there Team 8 - she's in good hands. May her transport back to base camp be unencumbered and swift, and may weather remain functional. Paul, you are in my heart & prayers every step of the way. God bless & watch over you all.

Hi Mary,James and everyone on Team 5. Sorry to hear the weather prevented you from getting to the summit. It looks like a really strong team and I'm sure you would all have got there if the weather had been kinder. Sounds like the guides have done an excellent job in tough conditions. Dan - we've told loads of people about Everest Million. Videos have been great. Peter
