India

was thinking of going to Srinagar in March for a couple of weeks. Have always wanted to stay in one of those houseboats they have there. Anyone had any recent experience of the area? I seem to recall there have been some security issues in the past.

Well as it's a quiet day I might have another go with this one. Anyone ever been?

Yep, went when I was 21. Set off as a 14 stone 7 lb first class rugby player and county u-21 shotputter, came back 6 weeks later 10 stone and barely able to lift a can of beer, never mind my rucksack. It was the lambburger in the Shivnivas Palace Hotel what done it.

Took me about 2 years to get fit again.
