Not only has squash forgotten her camo pants, but the terrorist yaks have forgotten their passports. So whilst we merrily breezed through the Chinese army check point, the yaks were stopped in there tracks, unfortunately the yaks were carrying all our kit.
We arrived in advance base camp 5700m (after a storming trek up) with nothing but Squash's face cream, one down jacket between us and a bar a chocolate covered kendal mint cake, perfect!
Offers of international aid from the Slovenians, Italians and Chinese ensured we would make it through the night. However somehow Dan managed to convince the Chinese army the yaks were of no political threat and at midnight the yaks, with all our kit, sauntered by moonlight into advance base camp. Nice!
We woke up to 20cm of snow this morning with a smattering of yak splat, however the view from our tent is spectacular, we both feel great and all is well.
