My support team: Carrying bags on heads
or shoulders over several successive days is very strenuous. Later we often
had to hire local porters or donkeys for the day. |
Village between WP #5 and #6: Lalibela is still 195km
away by the dust road |
A rare River |
Armed groups of people: We encountered a
number of them during the trek. Most seem to be government-appointed militias |
