After the first couple of days I was incredulous at how easily I settled in to the pace of the walk and pretty soon the Himalayas and all of their peculiarities started to unfold... The first being the importance of 'the snack' - above Mark happily models the Mountain Man mix that enabled him to become at one with the mountains. The next being how to make water boil when electricity is sporadic if not non-existent - make a reflective kettle drum and place the pan in the middle and then wait ... a fairly long time. Marujana plants growing in amongst the stones on the paths ... packets of detonators lying around and romance starts to blossom between Mark and lovely Mairead ... ahh the sweetness of the Himalayas
