Day 10

Set off from Dingboche and the beginning of the walk was a sunny flat stretch along the Khumbu glacial valley. It got steeper after a few hours as we struggled up 'Memorial Hill' at the top of which are many piles of stones commemorating climbers who have perished on Everest.
We arrived at Loboche (4900 metres) and possibly the least clean lodge so far..however we are encouraged that base camp is a days (long) walk away!
