Talking about Sherpas, take at look at these three who intend to spend 24 hours on top of Everest.

Top marks if you can spot what brand of 'British tent' they'll be kipping in. Stuffed if i can work out what model it is though.

Best of luck to them.

According to this link, the useful Sherpa buses are to finish after March as the Assembly withdraw their funding. It remains to be seen what real effect this will have on the service as it sounds like the first to blink will end up paying for it.

If the service is curtailed, or stopped then it will be a big blow to north Snowdonia. What they need is a more frequent service, so that you're not stranded for hours on end until the next bus or rushing down the mountain to get the only bus for ages (or the final one).
