BC merriment, life is good

Karsang, one of our kitchen hands who has worked several times with us.
I have also met him on the Nangpa La and in Namche,
such are the ways of trekking and trading life - Jamie

Joe F protecting his throat - Jamie

The second overland team

Where is Gordon? No news is good news, probably anyway. We have put up the kitchen tent and small dining tent for them.

12-13 Sept - more BC

After dinner usually we chat, Jamie works on the computer and then everyone fills up Nalgene bottles for hot water bottles. The night rituals involve pee bottles and/or early rises. Tristan decided that the most perfect sunrise still wasn't worth a photo as he was only wearing boxers. Others have worn more and had more successful photogenic mornings, even if the sunrises weren't quite as spectacular.

Curiously they freeze, until you look away, then disappear - Jamie

Not the world's best photo but these Tibetan Antelope are hard to photograph,
as soon as they see you they start moving away, and they will spot you
when you are a long way off as they stay in the wide open spaces
so that they can easily spot predators.
With that target marking, perhaps that is a good idea! - Jamie
