Day 3:

Russell and Greg had spotted some Thar in the distance on day two, so we all decided to head upstream and do some serious glassing. It was a beautiful day, this is looking upstream.



And this is looking downstream towards the hut.



Another couple of photos





Here we are looking for the elusive Thar...



George climbed up to a high point and had a snooze for a couple of hours. When we got back to the hut that night he was missing his sunglasses, and realised that they were still on top of the hill where he'd had a sleep. They were 'Dirty Dog' brand sunglasses, so the hill was now named 'Dirty Dog Hill'. More on Dirty Dog hill later.

Dirty Dog hill is that close high point on the right hand side...


Despite all our efforts no Thar were spotted on Day 3.
