Bǎihuālǐng with La and Viv. A bit of a disaster -- Viv was up most of the night sick, but was game to give the crossing a go. She was a trooper for making it as far as she did, but it was clear she was struggling -- another 1500m climb and 20-odd km seemed unrealistic. Upshot was getting to see the sun rise over the Biluo Mountains again, and hearing the morning chorus of Gaoligong...Amazing place.

To Caicun with Viv. Snaked down through the terraces, paddy fields and Bai villages to the lake. Managed to get to Caicun without too much back-tracking dark alleys, running into fish mongers or crashing into open drains. Pressed home in a blowing cloud of chaff, dust and kamikaze midges. Lost a contact to one, err. Hoisted the Jolly Roger and sailed home.

To the Higherland guest house to meet up with La and Viv. Met with a full spread on the table and a flurry of fuzzy dogs edging for front row seating. A little slow on the run, but a pleasant climb.
