In a quandary

So here I am wondering what I've let myself in for. It'll probably be freezing up there. I can just feel the frostbite already.

But then you can't say no when someone asks you if you want to go up to Everest Base Camp, can you? Really, come on. If you say no, a) you'll get that sinking feeling afterwards that no one will ever ask you to do anything exciting ever again, and b) you'll feel like a right wimp.

And it's hardly an interesting conversation piece is it? "Well, I was going to go up Everest and all that, but then I thought, nah, I'll nae bother the noo."

It's all in a good cause after all. Hmmmm, hope we don't have to sleep in tents like Hillary and Norgay - I'll need to get more than a moonbag.
