It looks a bit rough. =P ok, i had to look up what the M62 was. :) compared to some stretches, you could say that *was* like a highway. :) > Totally missed the film p&s bit on the first reading of your mail. > Amazed at how small your bags are, you were really packing light. > How/where did you spend nights - I don't see a tent.

Still looking at your photos. it wasn't a film p&s Ecke but a digital fuji with the small 1/2" exr sensor. i couldn't get the bags/rack i had planned on getting, this was all i could get and it was quite enough actually. and no i hadn't taken the tent. since i had already done this route twice on a motorcycle, i planned the stops in such a way that i hit some village or other every night. stayed in cheap tent 'hotels' where they were available and homestays where there were no hotels. though, as in most other parts of india, people usually speak 3/4 languages but if one knows hindi (the main language of north india), one can manage well enough. and yes, luckily enough, one puncture was all i had... thanks for looking, regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
