They are currently enjoying the luxuries of life - a hot shower, clean clothes, a proper toilet, good food and internet access after living it rough for the last 50 odd days.They are currently sorting out their flights back to Malta.

Note:The diary of the expedition comes to an end today. Please visit the website for news of the team's homecoming and more. Coming soon - photos and an account of the expedition

On behalf of the Challenge8000 team, thank you to each and everyone for your support and well wishes and not least, thank you to all their sponsors for their help and assistance in making the expedition possible

Marco and Robert are on their way to Kathmandu - they left on a jetplane today at about 21:00 GMT

The run up to today has been very hectic for Robert and Marco, finishing the last few loose ends and complete packing prior to the flight today, jiuggling many different varieties of tasks. But all of that should be behind them now... The only thing on their minds should be the journey and adventure ahead of them.

Everest South Col 2010 Expedition Itinerary

Thu - 25 Mar Written by Robert Gatt

The Challenge8000 team will arrive in Kathmandu at the end of March and will fly out to Lukla, the gateway to the Khumbu region soon afterwards. The short flight on a twin otter is spectacular and the landing can be stressful especially if you are sitting directly behind the pilot.
