Diary
by Marcus Tillotson;
"Today's
trek involved a vertical climb of 1,500 meters. Tired limbs
and heavy packs have begun to take their toll. Most of the
day was spent in the misty monsoon rain. Everything gets wet
and too many leeches have put the team in a thoughtful mood.
Everyone
is performing extremely well. A goat was brought up today
on a lead which Jeff has called William. He is to be slaughtered
for meat. We have become careful not to become too attached
but Kieran has been particularly friendly with our future
dinner. At camp this evening, Jeff, Toby and Guy all pulled
leeches from their boots and had all got sock-fulls of blood.
Toby Wootton is the only person who's yet to be bitten. His
time will come. The chefs continue to amaze us with their
cooking. This morning they killed a buffalo and we had buffalo
steak for dinner. Tomorrow we hope will be clearer weather.
