nathalie Hi, would you recommend hiking in mid April ?

josephine evans Well done Laura , I burst into tears at the top and couldn't even bear the thought of going down , ghastly and oh so humbling .

josephine evans Nick's cheeks ... !!

Angela Well done Nick on what sounded like a real challenge. Not many could share your triumph, tough going and exhilarating at the same tine and yes one your brother Simon would be proud to hear about.

Angela Glad I read this after your visit. You two don't seem to have any worry or hesitation about the places you visit. All adds to the adventure though.

Angela Seems Carlos was an interesting guide. Just goes to show you can never be too sure or trusting to those you meet on the way!

Catherine Hughes Well done Nick, your brother would have been so proud of you. Love to you both x

Kate Hobson Wow Nick what a complete hero you are. The challenge sounds awesome and your words were wonderful so so very heart wrenching but perfect for your experience. Both Jamie and I admire you so much, Love K&J xx love to Laura too x

Evelyn Oh nick, what a wonderful entry. I'll print this and put it in the memorial book and the girls will love hearing yr adventures when they're older. X

Penelope Nick I spoke to your father yesterday and he said I should read your blog due to problems with my mother - your words are wise for such a young cousin. xx I will raise an ice cocktail for you. xx

Andrew Thank you for this Nick. I wish I could have been there to salute Simon with you, but you did it for all of us.

Marie Sounds amazing! Well done guys. Maybe see you in Colombia!
