Arrived home 22/5/2007
Just returned home from a brilliant expedition. Thank you all so much for all your incredibly kind support and encouragement and most of all the prayers I know we have had behind us....this adventure would have been left on the ground with out them!!!
It's been incredible fun and now such a relief to be back home in one piece!!.....I just can't wait to get on with the next project now!!! I'm sorry to have been unable to answer the various questions I've had on the website, but up in the mountains we were all so busy...
I will have some time now so if there is anything please email: gilo@parajet.com. Thank you all once again..have fun, Gilo

Congratulations on a fantastic achivement! I drive trucks for a living and will never do what you guy's have done or seen. Thanks for the all you have done with the video, blogs etc. to allow me to experience your journey in my own way.

What you achieved was outstanding - all down to YOU your engineering genius, attention to detail, energy and belief that it could be done. Just so sorry that you had to turn round 1500' short. Best wishes from the Highest Dinner Party Support Team of '05 - of which you were an integral and essential player of the highest calibre. What's next?
