The day was a good one, & although the afternoons climb was quite a slog, especially the last few hundred feet as it got quite steep, once we were over the pass, we dropped back down about 500 ft to a large clear mountain lake, where we have pitched tents for the night. The breeze is nice, but not quite strong enough to blow away the billions of mosquitos that are swarming all around us... We both suited up in head-nets to cook dinner & have now retreated to our tents to rest for a while... Usually by around 2030 to 2100, it gets cold enough that the mozzies all sod off, so once that happens, it'll be a quick bathroom break (find a tree, dig a hole!), then get some sleep.
More to come... Once I get a signal & can upload this anyway!
Cheers.

thats a really beautiful blue lake. But the mosquito's sound very uncomfortable. do they bite through your clothes too? could have passed you some army repellent, very light small tube, no smell and works for 10hrs!
