By the end of Nov there were just a few pilots still kicking about and Bir was slowly winding down for the winter. There was a nice, relaxed vibe to the place and the few folk left (myself included) were in no rush to leave. After a good few days of no flying at all and the season seemingly over, we were rewarded with a couple of stunning days and some spectacular flying. On the 1st of Dec I braved a solo crossing over the back and joined by Swiss pilot Jean-luc we climbed up, up and up, to over 5000m. Up that high, the incredible depth of the Himalayas is revealed and the messy unbroken tumble of mountains stretches endlessly to the horizon and beyond.
