Rest Day (Sangla => Chitkul => Sangla). (52k)



Rest Day (Sangla => Chitkul => Sangla). (52k)
Rode up from Sangla up the Chitkul valley.Spectacular scenery.There were a couple of river crossings, one of which had a major bridge washed downstream. This meant that we effectively had the upper valley
to ourselves. No traffic! Great.
On our return to Sangla we find that Richard is sick in bed. He has a virus and can hardly stand.
During the night I come down with a bad case of the shits.I've been feeling a bit unwell for a while now but my recent trials of local food seems to have tipped me over the edge.
Even Malcolm Young's advice of a cork (for backside) and rubber bands (for trouser legs) wouldn't have worked in this case. And the cramps are
bad.
