Just back in Delhi from Bir on my way home to the UK after some fantastic flying from Billing. Got to Manali with my old mate Andy Harland on March 21st, helped by a 5500m cloudbase which made the flying technically easy but physically tough. It was VERY cold. I don't know how John and Ed deal with going over 7000m in Pakistan. Good luck to them. My camera battery died with the cold that day, but on the next base was a mere 4700m and I managed to get a few shots of me and my feet (I was all alone) as I flew the high route to Dharamshala and back, via the big stuff over the back. Two dream flights in two days!
