I have today spoken to Melanie Southworth who is still at Everest Base Camp. See previous post: https://www.thisisrammy.co.uk/melanie-southworth-update/

She tells me most if the climbers have now left but tomorrow she will be meeting with others to try to agree with the government to not open up the mountain for climbing too soon.

Melanie Southworth Update

April 26, 2015 by Lee 3 Comments

If you recall Melanie Southworth was recently interviewed on the podcast as she was embarking on a journey to climb Everest.

On Saturday the 25th of April 2015 Everest and Nepal were hit by a devastating earthquake, followed by crippling aftershocks on Sunday the 26th of April.

News outlets are currently reporting over 2,500 people have lost their lives in this tragedy.

I haven’t heard from Melanie for a while but when she last sent me a message she provided a phone number. I have sent a txt message to that number but not received a response as of yet. However, from Mel’s Facebook page someone has posted an update to the situation. I’m awaiting confirmation but so far as this is the only news I have, and I hope that it is accurate.
The update reads:

“Just to keep everyone posted, Mel is safe and back at basecamp helping with rescue and recovery operations x”

MelSouthworth-Facebook-Update
This was posted on Sunday the 26th of April at around 9pm.

If I hear anything more I’ll let you know.

Edit: There has been another update on Mel’s Facebook page:

Update 
Mel is in base camp to aid with operations there for another few days before making her way down to one of the more stable villages and ride out the next couple weeks in the valley where there is shelter and supplies. Going back to Kathmandu is not an option at the moment so she has opted to stay in the valley till the situation improves and international flights begin to drain the backlog of people trying to get out.
She is maintaining focus and good spirits all things considered and will update her progress best as possible

Pam Smart of Incredible Edible Ramsbottom
Pam taking some rare time off from her hectic Incredible Edible Ramsbottom schedule.

This week on This Is Rammy we have a conversation with Pam Smart from Incredible Edible Ramsbottom.

Incredible Edible started life around 5 years ago when a founder of the movement came to provide a talk to the community, from that day forth, Incredible Edible Ramsbottom was born and the rest is history.

Incredible Edible are a Guerrilla group, but don’t worry, they’re not the scary kind. They are activists though, by planting trees and growing plants on patches of land which are either disused, or have been offered as a space where the group can help to spread their green fingers.

All of the edible plants are free for people to use, they are for the public, however, please just take what you need so that there is enough for everyone.

Ramsbottom benefits from record average house prices

April 22, 2015 by Lee

The Guardian recently announced a record high in average house prices across the UK.

Although these record average house prices are good for existing home owners, it’s sadly not that beneficial to those yet to get on the housing ladder. Something that was raised with the parliamentary candidates recenlty in Ramsbottom.

Last Sunday (Sunday the 20th of April) at the Pre-Election debate in Ramsbottom, one of the talking points was what the parties will do to help people get onto the property ladder, and part of the reason was that due to the shortage of houses in the UK, the prices have increased. Thus putting them out of the range of first time buyers.

Based on this recent information, I set out to graph the average house prices across the UK and compare them to the average house prices for the North West.
