Mount Fuji - thanks for taking part

Photos of the solar eclipse available now at http://www.japanpodshow.com

On the evening of the 21st July 2009, Joseph Tame of http://www.japanpodshow.com and 4 friends - Phil, Jonny, Neeraj and Anya - scaled Mount Fuji to witness the solar eclipse. It was an incredible experience, with all the making of a movie:
- extreme hardship on the night climb
- despair and dissapointment as we are advised to get off the mountain before the storm worsens
- an amazing final triumph as having climbed down the most difficult section of the mountain we look back and see blue sky: despite total exhaustion we once again scale the heights to finally see the solar eclipse!

In this video Joseph thanks those who helped, and provides an update on when further footage will be available.
