Leaving Everest Base Camp we pass through Quzong Hamlet...
....following the twisty roads....
.....up to the top of the pass.
An overnight stay in Gyantse....
..and then we are on the steep windy roads again. Neill is too scared to look out...
Further up the road we reach our biggest delay - trucks have got stuck in the mud on the mountain roads. We pitch our tents on the only available flat ground and wait until morning.
The next day is spent pushing and digging trucks out of the mud.
Ben has an excellent video of a truck being pulled out of the mud - when it finally makes it onto Youtube I'll post the link.
Lesley and Katie making the very important mid-morning cup of tea..
One of the stuck trucks..
..and the state of the road.
James the Irish road builder
Some cars are simply not designed for these types of roads..
Trucks waiting for a clear run up the road..
Finally we were on the other side of the mountain.
