Ann: Trading Halt, page-25

We are climbing a mighty mountain....

After an arduous journey with many twists and turns, the advance Covid Party is approaching base camp, ETA Thursday.
Once there, they will establish camp and seek Sherpa's to assist on the torturous climb ahead.

Not too far behind is the Doggie Party, who encountered a futile attempt last year, poorly equipped and in bad conditions. They are much better organised this time around and early indications show solid progress with arrival at base camp mid-year. From there, they will find the strongest and most willing Sherpa to help them advance up the mountain.

To arrive later in the season, the MND Team have been doing solid preparations, sorting out their equipment and employing a trusty guide to locate the swiftest route up the mountain. Many back home are cheering them onwards.

the Cancer Team is also in preparation after many years of meticulous planning. They are carrying the flag and hope to launch a missile from the summit. The world will applaud if they achieve their mission.

At Base headquarters are the Epichem Team who are providing essential support for the operations. They are taking an alternative route, hoping to meet the other teams at the top in their modified DeLorean flying machine.

It will be an epic expedition for all the teams, and we wish them the best of luck.

Happy trails, Thrifty
