Shigatse

We worry about James

6 Sept - Shigatse

We arrived in the afternoon and it didn't take James long to find a crossbow, and then try it out. The pencil let loose with a nasty thwack, embedding the eraser part deep into some plywood. It probably could have shot that an easy 100m. We decided it was lucky he wasn't born in America, otherwise he would probably own every type of gun ever made!

Eric wishing it was armed! - Jamie

James is chuffed, he fired a pencil at this wooden board, the metal eraser part is stuck in the board,
rather impressive - Jamie
