Saifee expedition, October 1999
Finally the Sun did get eclipsed by the mountains,
leaving us to our own devices. The only way left to generate heat was
to walk fast, which was difficult because most
of us were tired. The energisers that the cooks had packed for us did come
in handy at this time though. When I later reached
Bhojbasa, I was really cold, shivering and fatigued. Also, one of the
porters was helping bring up the rear with the
most tired of the expedition members and unfortunately he was also carrying
the stove fuel. In short: no tea for quite some time. So I just ate
all the cashewnuts and almonds that the cooks had packed for us and was
up and running again in no time.
