He’s done it!
Date posted: December 4, 2009
A few hours ago Ben, our skateboarding techno punk achieved what he set out to do. He reached Everest Basecamp!
Ben has spent the last 2 weeks trekking over the Himalayas, and during the course of the journey has endured freezing temperatures, altitude sickness and worst of all (especially for Ben) a limited signal on his iPhone.
As you can see in the picture on the left he is currently experiencing the same temperatures as us at home, however he has a much better view.
We wish Ben a safe journey home, and look forward to having him back in the office, where I’m sure he will be sharing all the stories and photo’s from his once in a lifetime trip.
Well done Ben!
