'aint no mountain high enough...

(A few of the gang at Bexley wing at Jimmy's before we set off)

We've had a fab adventure! 

seen some amazing things and been lucky enough to meet some incredibly lovely inspirational people,

so,

go put the kettle on, make yourself comfy as I show you a few snaps and hope it gives you a feel of the trek......
