Hi Dave, I remember you commenting at the time we did that blog about how you really wanted to visit yourself. It really is an amazing State. Yes, we did a wonderful trek with fantastic companions (funny thing is all such treks - seem - to produce such dynamics... you may look at the bunch initially and think we're not going to have much in common with you lot... And then you trek; and you do). However, we are also desperate to return. In terms of our last trip and such environs it was hard to call between Ladakh and Sikkim, and both need extensive revisits.

All the best, Andy.
