6:15 am and I feel considerably better. Hope it lasts. The town of Besham is like many smaller towns in Pakistan - a bit of a mess, yet there are plenty of people just sat about in the streets - seems no incentive to clean any of the mess up. Like the other smaller town (and larger cities for that matter), the electricity supply is on and off - yet the Pakistanis can afford (or perhaps not) to buy nuclear weapons.
7:28 pm; we have made it back to the camping ground in Islamabad. Took the opportunity to dry out the tent and sort out my gear. Still feel a lot better. Earlier, T and I had a nice lunch at a roadside cafe - some sort of rice dish for fifty rupees. Making sure I drink bottled water, and avoiding coffee too. Aprehensive about the Indian part of this trip - suspect there won't be much climbing - this trip really has very little climbing, considering it's meant to be a climbing trip. It would help if there were more keen climbers.
