We’re following the adventures of Richard Fountain (see back-story of posts tagged richardfountain). Here’s his latest virtual postcard. Nice T-Shirt! Here’s the virtual scrawl from the back..

“Hello from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Am very fond of the Dalek like fountains to be found. The pic was taken by Jo Belton de Fabre who is living here at the moment, had a great time catching up and meeting husband Fernando and pooch Polly. These fountains are close to the old Pilsener Brewery and just along from Las Penas, where Che Guevara and indeed Jo herself lived for a while.”

I hear that Richard has started altitude training proper, and last I heard (yesterday ish) was hooking up with some potential other climbers. Nice one Richard – keep us posted!
