The adventurers of 5 young teachers in 1967, who made a pact to travel to Everest Base Camp when they finished their initial teacher training in 1964, were recorded in diaries following inspiration from their earlier readings of Scott of the Antarctic. Their diary extracts, which include real life accounts of the 1967 trek, show how different and more difficult were the travelling conditions then compared to today. Further reflections upon their first trip were made possible when two of the adventurers return to Kathmandu in 2010. The authors have digitised their ageing colour transparencies and included many colour photographs in the book. With the use of some clever digital technology the reader is able to compare some of the landscapes in of 1967 with the same views as they were in 2010.
