A trek in the Himalayas

What a lovely way to spend a windy Monday evening at St Paul’s listening and watching David and Margaret’s trekking adventure in the Himalayan mountains, off the beaten track of the usual Everest base camp tourist trap.

The scenery was stunning and for a some of the audience who had been to Nepal it was a trip down memory lane, and for others maybe experiencing the quest for adventure! It really was a bit more than “holiday snaps” with the audiovisual display, especially David’s singing bowl and seeing the local dancing and music.

Learning about the trekking culture for local employment and the seriousness of walking at altitude was a real eye opener.

The puddings were a bonus to the evening a bit more variety I am sure than on offer in a Himalayan tea house!

Well done, David and Margaret – looking forward to your next adventure.
