The Plan has come together
Our plan has finally come together. Permission arrived from down valley earlier today. Our Liason Officer Berrang & one of the outfitters Swami recently returned from Kargil with a new peak permit for Nun & Kun. Access to basecamp for these two 7000m peaks does not require a glacier to be traversed by porters, problem solved we hope!The three of us strolled toward our new basecamp earlier today, in fact we visited the intrim camp where we'll spend the night of the 15th. It's always good to stretch legs and lungs, specially for Peter & I as we picked up a bit of a cold. Harder to avoid than one thinks in the mountain valleys as all locals seem to be afflicted. Today's brief bump in altitude will serve us well and already did so simply in getting the blood flowing. Marvellous to return from our up valley stroll to find news of successful permission as you can imagine: A clear objective toward which we can channel psyche is equally as important as physical exercise. Indian red-tape is never seamless, permission seemed easy to glean but word of mouth means nothing in this realm of tripple signed and officially stamped documents.
