violence of it was mind blowing," explained Sat. "I've never seen anything like it, we were in a stronger building but everything around us was falling like a house of cards - it's something I won't forget for a long time."
He added: "I saw first hand the resilience of the Nepalese, they were all at work even though they had lost their homes and family members - it's phenomenal.
"People's houses were destroyed within seconds; to see the beautiful city coming in, how lush it was and the colourful atmosphere of the city - to experience it so grey,dusty and dull is unbelievable."
After experiencing altitude sickness and an earthquake, will Sat be attempting to climb Mount Everest again?
"It's just not for me," he said. "I've got more things to do in terms of the project and raising funds. I'm glad that I did it, I'm glad I was there because there was an option for me just to do the food and send it but I'm glad I was part of the team and I can say first hand that I tried, I didn't succeed but fingers crossed we can now raise as much funds as we can.
"Before everything that has happened it was a bit of fun doing the world record attempt but now we can use our influence to raise money and get help out there."
He added: "It's so fitting that the charity we were raising funds for was Community Action Nepal, the charity that was part of last year's avalanche. It's even more important that we do more now and raise as much money as we can."
Sat spoke to the rest of the expedition team yesterday, they too
abandoned the world record attempt after the earthquake. Four of them are still at Base Camp and the rest are at Advanced Base Camp. They are all heading down so Sat is hopeful they will be evacuated very soon.
