movies

now that i can see my ankle i have been able to get back on the bike.
Yesterday I wnet up the valley looking for possible climbing routes
for a future time. The bike(another model now) was slipping out of gear
and i was having to adjust for cows, shep, people etc so it was
a good tester for my ankle.

The weather is glorious now so i
had a lovely time gently caressing the hills with my enfield.
On entering the pass not too far from the end of the valley I noticed a commotion
on the left. Some three hundred folk were congrugated with all manner of
technical equipment. I pulled over and investigated, camera at the ready.

Within tow ticks I found myself on a movie set. The director invited me on and they
allowed me to observe the shinnanigans and commotion.what a fascinating experience watching ego and technology move into action. there seemed to be two people for ever task. everyone needed a private unmbrella holder and even a telephone dialler! This being india
were the labour is cheap the meant that almost everyone had some form
of slave or fetchit.

I stayed for 20 mins walking amongst the technicians and shaking a few hands.
it was an interesting site but after my time on movie sets some ten years ago
down in hampi(another story) i soon tired and jumped on my bike and headed into the hills.
the valley here really is lovely and i managed to find a few paragliders gently riding the hills
anbd enjoying the sun.

very nice
