Himalayan Trek 2001: Friday 16 November 2001
http://himalayan-trek.blogspot.com/2008/10/friday-16-november-2001_10.html
This is a personal account of a trek to Sikkim, India, in November 2001. Friday, 10 October 2008. Friday 16 November 2001. At 0530 hours I wakened and started to pack after a good night’s sleep despite the extreme cold and hard overnight frost. Ten minutes later bed tea arrived and water to wash and shave in. Some new yaks, needed for the higher altitude and a few ponies arrived at the campsite and we said bye to the original yak men who all received a tip. Posted by Lindsay Boyd.

http://himalayan-trek.blogspot.com/2008/10/sunday-4-november-2001_10.html
This is a personal account of a trek to Sikkim, India, in November 2001. Friday, 10 October 2008. Sunday 4 November 2001. On boarding the aircraft I became aware that the previous day’s flight to Delhi, which I was supposed to be on, was delayed and had still not taken off. I later learned that this was due to a bomb threat and mechanical problems. At 1230 hours, one hour late, my flight took off, with my original flight to Delhi still grounded. Posted by Lindsay Boyd.

Himalayan Trek 2001: Tuesday 6 November 2001
http://himalayan-trek.blogspot.com/2008/10/tuesday-6-november-2001_10.html
This is a personal account of a trek to Sikkim, India, in November 2001. Friday, 10 October 2008. Tuesday 6 November 2001. We also visited the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute, which was very interesting as Sherpa Tenson, who came from Darjeeling, was prominent in the exhibitions. We also visited his statue and where he was cremated. Dinner was at 2000 hours and at 2300 hours we retired to bed. I placed my thermarest on top of the mattress which made the bed more comfortable.
