Rob Greenhill Nepal it’s people, mountains and culture.
There were 24 members to welcome Rob Greenhill ,who had travelled down from
Glamorgan and they were not disappointed with his excellent presentation.
Rob’s talk was based on his visits to Nepal, hiking through and up the Himalayas.
Rob ran through his packing schedule for the months trip, keeping his camera gear
simple and light .
Rob enthralled his audience with stunning landscapes of the mountains, glaciers
and valleys.
He took time to capture special images of local people and children in their
personal environments. Images of the huge weights of baggage carried by the
sherpas, the tea rooms , the precarious rope bridges , the cremation ceremonies,
the prayer flags and walls all made you feel the culture of this special country. The
Buddhist beliefs are special to the Nepalese and they retain their ancient culture
and traditions,
We were taken through the gateway to Everest, visiting areas like Namche Bazar,
Khunde and Khumjung, Island Peak ( with an elevation of 6189m ), Tengboche and
it’s Monastery . All very interesting and unique.
The hikes were rewarding experiencing the culture and warmth, tasting their
cuisine, and seeing the mountains from different angles. Care had to be taken to
acclimatise to the mountain heights and adjusting to lower oxygen levels. Rob had
to transported down to a lower elevation due to Acute Mountain Sickness at one
point .
The group of trekkers with Rob raised money for Parkinson’s Disease, so very
worthwhile to do .
Rob was warmly thanked for his enthusiastic and comprehensive presentation.
