OK everyone, we are on the 8.30am flight Tuesday morning Nepal time (which is 3.45am UK time) with Tara Airways.

If you’re awake, wish us luck!

Also, please don’t be alarmed if you don’t hear from us for some time, although there are a couple of villages with internet cafes in the mountains, the electricity supply and internet connections are far from reliable, so we may not be in contact for a while.

Remember, no news is good news!  Nana – a plane crash would be reported on the world news on the internet within a couple of hours, so if there’s no news about Lukla when you wake up on Tuesday morning, we’re safe.
