As I write in my Delhi hotel room I can see nothing but piles of gear...packets of food, cheese, biscuits, tomatoes and green veg - none available in Leh in winter; twenty insulated jackets for our porters and other insulated stuff. Jerry, Hauke and I met for breakfast this morning and had an excellent time getting to know each other in the surroundings of the Imperial, Janpath. Piotr joins us tonight, then Ali and Manish tomorrow...I spoke with Lobsang in Leh this morning and looking forward to our flight on the 17th - the most exciting and demanding trek on the planet is about to begin!
And so to Leh; our flight was cancelled on the 17th due to bad weather, but we flew up on time today, descending through cloud into a snowy Leh to be met by Lobsang And Angchuk, and at our hotel the fire in the dining room was blazing, a good breakfast and I introduced our trekkers to what I consider my home, Leh, the capital of Ladakh...
