As I packed away my messages I asked my guide 1 more time if I can make an attempt. To save face he said it was too late in the day. We started to descend stephan, Jonny walker and Toby Bitter had just finished summating so we followed, an hour into my descent I stopped dead still, the guide came over to find me asleep on my feet. For another 30 minutes or so he battled to get me as far down as possible when I passed out completely.
Shortly afterwards Anna Almundo and Carmen arrived and Anna hooked up her oxygen and gave me glucose tablets. At this point I did not recognise who these people were.
After 10-15 minutes I started to come round I recognised Anna & Almundo's voices but I did not know where the hell I was!! More glucose and more guides arrived, two of them took me arm over arm and literally dragged me off the mountain all the while I hear Anna shouting think of the Kids Russell!!!
After what seemed like an eternity I was shoved into my tent where I slept until I was awoken by Charles it's time to go he said bring your sleeping bag and mattress with that I was strapped to a unicycle stretched and off I went, pushed 9 kilometres by 5 men...very scary.....
I arrived at Horumbo to meet the rest of the gang but again a quick pee and it was back off to bed. I slept until 18:30 when awoken for dinner, could not face it, however I realised I had not spoken to Katy, I check my
iPhone but as in such a state I'd let it run down. It took over an hour but I found a safety pin and popped the sim, found the old nokia jonny blaze gave me (god luv ya!) powered up and it was bliss hearing that ringtone (thanks for the wind up torch dad!!)
Great to speak to Katy & Mum I realise just how many people may be reading this blog (hi!) I turn the phone off and go back to sleep.
