If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.

    Yesterday was Jo's and Arthur's last day in Cusco. Yesterday they did a three hour trek. Today they are off to the hot springs for a four hour trek. At night when they are camping the temperature will drop to -10C and they will be at an altitude of 3500 meters.

    Only just spotted this..
    It's a great thing to do.. Anything for a free holiday eh? Lol
    Jo, I wish you the very best of luck... It sounds like an incredible adventure to have.
    I hope that you achieve everything that you can mi dear and that you reach those dizzy heights lol.
    If I'm right in thinking (a rare occurence I know :shock: ) when stood at the base there is a part where you can make strange noises clapping, hopefully you're hands will be up to it?

    The very best, safe travels..... :D:D

    Latest news from Arthritis Care via FB:

    Jo and Arthur are out of range in the high Andes for now. With them on the trek are a Doctor, paramedics, oxygen and a horse ambulance.

    Fingers crossed and all our best wishes go to Jo and Arthur x

    Echo from Elna to Jo and of course Arthur, as well. :)

    Well done Jo, on achieving your personal challenge and raising about £1,250 for AC.

    Wonderful photos of your achievement on FB via AC, proof that you have been there and done that and Arthur too. He is a well travelled bear. ;)
