The team arrived in Gangotri yesterday the last village with mobile signal. All is well with the team and they are looking forward to starting their trek to Satopanth base camp today.
12th September
Dave has emailed in to say the team all arrived safely into Delhi on the 11th September and have now traveled to Rishikesh. Please be aware because of the communications restrictions in India the team are not allowed a Satellite phone, so we will not hear anything from the team after they leave Gangotri until they get back from the mountains. Good luck from all of us at Adventure Peaks!
