Plan B

Unfortunately I am not going to the Indian Himalayas. :( The area that I was going to, Leh, has been hit by devastating floods last week which has left a death toll of 185 and 200 people still missing. It has barely been reported by the British press. Please pray for the people of Leh and their lives that they will need to rebuild. The decision got made yesterday (Thursday) to cancel the trip. Naturally I am very disappointed after 7 months of preparation but am currently preparing Plan B, the goal now is 7 British mountains in 7 days, starting the new trip on Sunday... :)
