Message from Colin on Sat phone - 20 August 2011.
Made good progress today. On schedule. I left the Indus River behind as it continued on towards Pakistan. A few areas of the road under repair by road workers. Had to push my bike up the mountain for 2 hours as the surface was impossible to ride on. Arrived at Lamayuru and found somewhere to get clean, they have washing facilities and a restaurant. There's a monastery overlooking the town built into the side of the escarpment with caves hollowed out beneath it. There's a strong army presence here.
