How come I never clicked thr...Hey Becky and James,<br /><br />How come I never clicked through from the Facebook links to your blog until today? I just read your last few posts and realised that you have just arrived at part of the world where I have been!<br /><br />When we recruited for the South African Expedition, we must have shown you slides or video of the 1995 Trip to Pakistan. We jeeped and trekked from Gilgit to Chitral through the high passes of the Wakhan corridor. I can't recall any village names now except Hunza, where I do remember eating delicious apricots fresh from the trees (it was August) and being greeted by villagers who gave us chicken. After weeks on dahl and chapatis the food obviously stuck in my memory!<br /><br />We arrived down in Hunza after climbing a modest peak a day or two from the village. Not technically difficult as I remember, but on a warm sunny day, the snow bridges and crevasses were creaking rather ominously by midday.<br /><br />These are things I had forgotten until today when I found your blog. Now I'm going to go back and read the rest! I am sure you are having the time of your lives. Enjoy, and maybe we will get to meet up to hear your tales when you are back?<br /><br />All the best,<br />SteveSteve Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661516098754465874noreply@blogger.com
