acknowledgements
I am immensely grateful to my fellow authors whose words and photographs reflect the
joy of trekking and the glories of the Himalaya; their enthusiasm for this project made it
a pleasure and a privilege to work with them. For additional help with photographs I am
indebted to Meikel Beek, John Earle and Barbara Roberts. Publisher and fellow trekker
Jonathan Williams shares our love of the Himalaya, which was an added bonus when
planning this book; my thanks to him and to his talented team in Milnthorpe for producing
the attractive volume before you, especially my editor, Sue Viccars, and designer, Clare
Crooke. For his company and practical support on numerous treks, thanks to my good
friend Kirken Sherpa in Kathmandu, and to the countless unnamed Sherpas and porters
without whom many of my more remote travels would never have succeeded. To my wife,
and the many friends who have trekked with me and shared both sunshine and storm in
the mountains, my thanks for your patience and good humour. Limited space restricts my
naming everyone – but you’ll know who you are. Danyabaat!
