I hate packing!

This will be my last post for 3 weeks. tomorrow we head to Chattru- the mountains, wild camping in a valley that has a village of about 3 people apparently! and it has no communications there. I have decided to stay there for the whole 3 weeks along with about half the group, instead of going to Leh where there is trekking and a 6000m peak. In Chattru there is multipitch trad (very adventurous apparently) and lots of boulders, with over 400 problems. I also recon that we will bump into Chris Sharma there becasue apparently he was in Manali a month ago..... well i can dream!!
today has been stressful as we are leaving BiRT in Manali and hiring 4x4s to take us to Chattru. the path can be a bit dodgy, so Pete isnt comfortable driving BiRT there. The bus service isnt working at the moment, but we should be able to hitch a lift back to Manali quite easily if nessecery, for more food etc. I am taking almost everything i bought to India, which seems a bit excessive, but its gonig to be cold and isolated. We also bought 3 weeks of food, or tried to anyway, because there may not be any shops there. we are cooking in groups this time, and im in a 5 with Ben, Paul, Dave, and Roscoe. we have Split peoples stoves to one each group- but our group ended up without one, so we have bought a local one- lets hope it works! Today has been a mad rush, and im feeling quite ill as Delhi belly has caught up with me. I just hope it doesnt rain or snow the whole time we are there!
Bring on the climbing!!
