Update from Leh

The expedition has arrived back in leh safe and sound, everyone has enjoyed being back in civilization and YE's have already pigged out on a variety of cravings including ice cream, chocolate and meat.

This morning each fire gave their plays and limericks that they have put together with most orientated around mocking the leaders.We will stay in leh tonight and then head to Delhi for the final leg of the expedition. Everyone is fit and healthy and have had a great time. The YE's spent the last night in camp sitting around a campfire (made from yak dung) having a singing battle against the sherpas. With hits such as "greece lightning", "we will rock you", and "The summer of 69" by bryan adams being belted out by YE's the sherpas didnt know what had hit them.

The two valleys also went head to head in the "Himalympics" with events such as the 20 metre dash (altitude didnt permit much more), the rock and spoon race, the trek pole javelin, rockput, and tug of war. It was a farily even event and neither valley could decide fairly who had one so a draw was agreed upon.
