I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to show us support by contributing to the comments on our blog.Reading them now shows us what a massive wave of good will and support we have generated. We have been off the ice now for twenty four hours and the enormity of what we have achieved is now sinking in. It was a privalage to stand at the top of the world with some very special people,and a moment that will live with us all for as long as we have strong minds or breath. We are looking forward to being reunited with family and friends,absence certainly makes the heart fonder. Alan and Ed need special mention, both top drawer men, who led us into the valley of the shadow of xxxxx and brought us out the other side. Thank you both. Andrew and all the Boys
