Hinkes Cake Scoop!
No really, a quick pic of Hinkesy's celebratory Challenge 8000 cake with all 14 8,000ers strutting their stuff in 3D icing. It really does look like a very fine cake indeed :-)

Remember we told you about Hinkesy's special celebration cake
complete with models of all 14 8,000ers? Come on, it was only this morning, get with the programme...
It was made for him by staff at the British embassy in Kathmandu
to celebrate his momentous Challenge 8,000 success and now, here in
fact, we have a picture of the cake and the reception, just click on
the image for the full-sized photo. Nice cake huh, but probably not
cartographically accurate we're guessing....
Rumours that Alan managed to eat only 13 of the 14 mountains on the cake have been officially denied. 'We know Alan well and can see no reason why he should leave any part of the cake unconsumed,' commented a Berghaus spokesperson. 'This really is the icing on the cake...' [actually we made that up]
