Kalanka Expedition Underway

Hi Guys
Well Myself and Nick Bullock have made it to Dehli and its HOT HOT HOT and very sticky.
We have managed to get our frieght out of customs yesterday in record time, a mere 4hrs and $100 so it looks like its all go for Kalanka after months of planning.
We met with the Indian Mountaineering Federation yesterday afternoon who told us the roads to Josthimath have all been washed out with the recent rains, so it sounds like even geting out of here will be an adventure.
The team leave tomorrow at 5am on a bus with all our kit and it will take 2 days to Josthimath where we will spend a few days sorting the kit into porter loads. Argh early starts never agree especailly with the jet lag.
So stay tuned and I'll update if the bus gets through the landslides.
Stay cool
KC
