SUMMARY:
Notes praise for Tenzing’s seed work on Doshong La, foul autumn weather at Langong, and preparations including paying off the Molo people and arranging a trip to Migyitun via Kusho. On 15 October at Langong Halt it rains with snow on the hills; by 16 October the party camps 2 miles north of Chubumbu La in continuous heavy rain with swollen rivers.
CONTENT:
Tenzing did very well with seeds on the Doshong La. He would have perfect weather when there, must have been just at the right time too. Taylor very fit indeed, everyone happy, except possibly Ramzana, who has done badly this year all round. He is quite above himself, and I think has been spoilt. Weather very foul here, looks like continuing so for a month. Langong looks very different in Autumn, and all are now busy cutting grass, iris leaves soon, storing them in their huts for the winter. I have not tackled the juniper above Langong going to Migyitun yet.
15th October. Langong Halt. Rain all night, and thick snow on the hills. Some sun today, and I thought it might clear up, but it has not, and is raining again this evening. Paid off the Molo people. Kusho says he has arranged the Migyitun trip alright, but I'm not too optimistic yet, though he seems reasonably confident. I stayed in camp today, and was quite glad of a rest. The Chubumbu valley has had very heavy rain falling in it all day, and I fear we are in for a nasty time there, but I would rather have bad weather now, and then clear in three or four days time for crossing to Migyitun.
16th October. Camp 2 m N. of Chubumbu La. Rain all night and all today. I think this is the wettest and the worst day I have had yet this year. The rivers are fuller than they were in
