Armchair pilgrim

Just finished reading Colin Thubron's book To a mountain in Tibet. Wonderful book, the best kind of travel writing, that makes you feel as if you've been there. Thubron is able to write simply but profoundly, and writes without making any judgements or inserting his own ego into the picture. Highly recommended.
  Now I have to go and have a lie down. I've just circumnabulated Mt Kailas and I'm cold and hungry and have altitude sickness.
