Route Notes	The trip was simply bloody great. The team of Mike, Len, David, Kevin, Gavin, Roger, Dorje and myself really worked. From the word go I could sense that this was going to be a good one and it was....everyday brought something fresh, something a wee bit different. Then mid-November our man Dougal comes in with the team of superstars for Ama Dablam round 2. Gamble was a member of the second Dream Guides group led by Dougal Tavener.
