Wallet Wallah


We are back in India and it’s the blogging season again so we hope to keep you, my faithful blog readers, updated with the fun stuff that no one else gets to know about.
Tracy Moseley on Pindari Trail
 A week in Delhi is just about enough for me put the time to full uncreative use and pick up were we were last April, in the pursuit of pocket sized rubber happiness, which to those who don’t know, that’s inner tube wallets. We have decimated 50% of Delhi’s sewing capacity with these infernal things which have stuck, twisted and bunged up sewing machines all over the capital. Our wallets have gone to the cobblers, literally and metaphorically, and the street side wallahs should have the market stitched up in no time.
  Back in Nainital and life is good. 4 hour ride today to test the bike and the trails and survey the monsoon damage, so far looks good though we know the trails up to Pindari Glacier have been damaged badly. Uttarakhand had disastrous floods in June and is still recovering from the loss of life and damage so we have no trips planned on the high altitude trails this September/October but hope to run a few guests through the lower level trails which are seriously good fun.
Guess whose appalling white socks these are
 A few pics here from last year which we missed. Tracy Moseley getting a bit of air just in time for Pankaj to click his camera. Pankaj is seen testing out his new Danny Macaskill Five Tens and looks a happy chappy in em.
 Looking forward to the MTB Himalaya race this 28th September I think we have a spot  for that so need to get the miles in for that. October its Darjeeling revisited so can’t wait for that and the trails on the Singalila Ridge.. Kerala in Feb for more singletrack tours and we are doing the coast to coast in February which will be cracking. Anyone keen???????
