Finaly I can catch up with my updates, after being away for 6 weeks.

The flag is now flying at the Holy place, known as the "The place of Memories" by the local people, now there is 402 special memories flying there.

The flag was raised and the service held on the 11,11,09 Rememberance day, it was a very emotional service, and I found it quite hard to do with out chocking back the tears, 3 sherpas also laid 3 crosses in memory of the 3 Gurhka soldiers, named on the flag. pictures of the flag, and my first view of Mount Everest

The Flag "IN MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN" is now on it's way to Mount Everest, RIP all 402 heroes named on the flag xxx thank you all for all the lovely messages of support xx

today has been a very special day starting with the service and the blessing at the church in Paderborn, and a get together in the afternoon with everyone involved in the making of the flag, what a great send off.....many tears shed by everyone today...thank you so much Paderborn xxx

The flag In "MEMORY OF OUR FALLEN" will hang in the German church tonight in Paderborn, as they are holding a small ceramony tomorrow 10 am, to Bless the flag and all named upon it, for it's journey to Everest, a tribute from the German people of Paderborn, this means so much to me, THANK YOU PADERBORN XX

4 days to go, today will be the making of the other side of the flag, can't wait to see this come together, so will be filming it all.
The German TV station, DDR, contacted me yesterday, they would like to interview me and show my journey, on TV, don't like having my picture taken, or being on the radio, don't know what to say as soon as that mike is put in front of me.....and I'm taking a cameraman with me Stephen Pennells, so I wont be saying a word for 3 weeks....no funny comments on that Stu.

The past week has been quite emotional, having had more contact with family members, of our heroes, each have sent me a message for there loved one, to be embroidered onto the flag, I will send them picture of there message when it is complete, and before I leave for Everest.

Went to meet Satus Quo last night in Dusseldorf, great guys, had a good chat with John Edwards, and a great performance, cant wait to meet them again
