Hello

Hello all - who ever you may be.

After a great many trials and plenty of errors, i have managed to track down an internet connection that can cope with a few of gary's random babblings and plenty of photo's. it was a truly difficult task, traversing mountains, rivers, wetlands and international borders.... ok ok.... it was a short taxi ride from the university to the tourist village of Sauraha near Chitwan National Park! but its bloody hot and im a yorkshire man so i am allowed to stretch the truth slightly! :-)

i am in Nepal for 6 weeks doing voluntary work with the Glacier Trust and am accompanied by DR Ellie Biggs - she is kind of in charge and i do as i am told (haha) but it means she has to organise everything i can just complain so its perfect for me!!!!. So far we have introduced some masters students to GPS and how it can help with data collection and trialed a new survey method that i have seen used before in india.

i will come back tomorrow with some resized photos ready for publication and some short witty statements to accompany them.
