Photos - Aru to Srinagar

Me on the River Lidder - I think I was in the midst of laundry crisis at the time most of the rest of these photos were taken but then again I'm probably just a scruff!

Balancing precariously on the bridge - don't do heights very well

Group photo in the garden of the Rohilla Guesthouse

Ido and Rafi

Me on the Baisaran meadow high above Pahalgam

Baisaran meadow - before the troubles it was a favourite set for shooting Hindi movies

Small village which I think was called Dublin(sp) - well that's how it sounded to me

The Kashmir Valley

Two village ladies who were real happy to have their photo taken

Can't get rid of the space above the title of that last photo - sometimes computers frustrate me!! Anyway good news re my race Sunday - 26mins 29 secs for a 5k - there is talk that it was short - but what I didn't realise it was the Welsh 5k Road Championships (well something like that) what guts me a little (rather than the short issue) the lady who won the over 35's age group was 5 seconds in front of me (and well done to her) - 5 years running in that age group apart from winning a road race series back in 2006 (which believe me was quite difficult as I had been sat on hill in Lancashire watching the sun come up on Solstice day and had to make a mad drive back to Cardiff to take part in one of the races) never a sniff of such an accolade - anyway think I was roughly 7th in my age group - its the one after the over 35's - not that I believe I am 7th best in Wales but I doesn't half sound good as long as no one asks how many were in the race..........
