We drove from Gilgit north to Karimabad today and already I've been roped into a trek starting at eight o'clock tomorrow morning leaving for the base camp of Rakaposhi, standing at 7788m in the Karakoram range, so a couple more days of radio silence are on the cards... three to be precise.
Apart from that, all is good. We spent a few days chilling out in Gilgit in the fantastically comfortable Madina Hostel. Last night we went for a chinese meal and then we got baked, watched Cannonball Run and rolled around the floor laughing... great flic!
I'll try to post some photos when I get back from tomorrow's trek.

You absolute bastard. Here's me in work on a Sunday, and you're off climbing mountains in Pakistan. You bastard. :)
Trust you're still having fun! x
Hey Connor! This one made me lough "An hour later, with unfettered relief at having survived, we clambered out of the jeep..." - nice humor and good descriptions of your trip in general. There goes plan for you: you should become a traveler-writer! That role would suit you perfectly - get in touch with lonely planet or others!
Otherwise, I'm hearing you're in a country, which is on the brink of default (kinda like Argentina in 2001, but we haven't had anything since then)...
"Pakistan may be forced to seek a loan from the International Monetary Fund to prevent the nation defaulting on its debt, according to a government official."
Take care,
Filip
