A web site dedicated to Tom Harrington's family containing news, gossip and tales of the unexpected. Fun for all.
If everone adds a few lines of news and information - others will look at this site and it will spiral into a web log of the Harringtons!
It is so easy to add comments even I can do it.

Road to Everest
Michaels trip to Tibet and Nepal stopping at Everest on the way
I have been back a few days now and am relaxing at Phil’s in Beijing for a few weeks. Here is a small sample of the pictures from amongst the 300+ I have of my adventure (those I mange to catch will receive the benefit of the FULL slide show)
I had a fantastic time and managed to struggle up all the mountain passes and complete each days journey without resorting to the support land cruisers. I was the only one who managed without any drugs at all! The only altitude sickness I felt was difficulty in sleeping for a few nights when up high. I was lucky – the rest got headaches and one had to be sent home.
The month long trip was an adventure of a life time which I would recommend to all. There is pain and hardship but you decide how far to push it - but this is all part of the experience. The discomfort of riding up a mountain pass for 4 hours is easily surpassed by a tremendous high you get flying down a beautiful eye catching valleys on the other side.
I now feel fitter and healthier than I have for many years.
All the best to you
Enjoy
Michael

Hi All
I am safely in Katmandu now having a great time is this crazy but very enjoyable city. We arrived in the North of Nepal on the 2nd of July and have been relaxing in a pleasant mountain retreat luxury campsite called borderlands - lovely!
"Borderlands
-------------
Borderlands is a mere three hours north of Kathmandu, just south of the Tibetan border. Built on beautifully sculpted, sprawling terraces alongside the powerful Bhote Kosi River, sits this enchanting hideaway. Whether you choose to relax, integrate yourself into the natural surroundings, or gear up for high adventure, the centre will sooth your soul. From here we offer canyoning, rafting, mountain biking and exclusive trekking routes not found in any guidebook. Thatched safari-style tents, clean mountain air and tantalizing meals complement the peaceful atmosphere of this riverside resort.
"
and then on to Katmandu 2 days ago to sightsee and recover
I have had a fantastic time managed to cycle every pass and wind swept valley not getting into the Van of shame once – the only one in the group to do this! This is due to all the biking practice I managed to get (thanks Shiv and Jack)
I went to the airport this morning to catch out flight only to see it get cancelled as the weather over Tibet was too bad! I am fine with this as it gives me another day here. There is no telling what will happen tomorrow! But here in Nepal you just have to be calm, relaxed , flexible and cool – just like me
Off now for Pizza lunch and then to the monkey temple to tease the monkeys!
So I will update blog when I get back to Beijing
Love
Michael
