My first go at editing the Nepal footage

Got hit in the head and nocked off my bike in the dark early morning on the sand stone way a few years ago, by a phesent that i must have startled in the dark, took off and hit me on its way up haha

oh dear i thought i had checked but maybe miss read it , no information about it beeing closed at the bothy itself, it had even been visited by a few MBA menbers according to the vistiors book last week , so they are not doing a verry good job of warning people, so ye maybe they should put a sign up...
