\n\t\t\t\tThumbs up for the ride to Lukla (Mark Allen)\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>

Off they went for their first leg of the trek to Phakding.\u00c2\u00a0 Their first night on the trail is spent in a little village along the river.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, the weather looks great and the teams will have their first chance to test themselves on the trail.\u00c2\u00a0 It should be pleasantly cool in the morning as they trek up to Namche hill.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a new bridge they will cross as they head up the hill…it is even higher above the valley than the last bridge.\u00c2\u00a0 The key to success?\u00c2\u00a0 Take it slow and stop to take in the scenery.\u00c2\u00a0 It is a great hike and the reward is worthwhile.<\/p>\n
Psyched to have the teams on their way \u00e2\u20ac\u0153up valley.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
