Escape from Manang
Sunday, October 30th, 2005Hi Everyone, hope you’re all happy…..thanks for checking in and especially for your comments (and abuse).
I’m sitting in a cafe in Pokhara, a fantastic city at the foot of the Annapurnas. It’s been a hell of a time since Manang and being here has given me a chance to relax and reflect a bit on the trip, and to speak to Kath and Meg after having no contact whatsoever for 9 days.
Where to begin? Just after my last post, we decided as a group that Plan B was to get below the snowline then down to the roadhead as quickly as possible, then head over to the West side of the circuit by bus, where we could go to a famous viewpoint called Poon Hill. The plan meant we had to get out to the roadhead in 4 days when it had taken 8 days to get up there, so we had 4 straight days of up at sunrise (5.30am), walk until dark (6pm) with a lunch stop.
