Travelling again

Later this month I have meetings in Bangladesh, Pakistan (probably won't be able to get there) and 2 big trips to make in India (in Tamil Nadu with a number of farm groups) and then between Ahmedabad and Akola with a big textile company and their farm projects.

Its all a bit daunting to be honest. Click on the blue pointers for more info.

I am completely putting my faith in others to organise my travel, and people I've never met in other countries to join up the dots and find me places to sleep and so on. It's a leap into the unknown. I'm sure there will be plenty to tell and fascinating sights to be seen along the way. Lets hope not too much Delhi belly too...

So I fly into Bangladesh at the tail end of November for 3/4 days in Dhaka, then fly to Chennai in southern India where I meet up with some folks I know and then we go off by "local transport" into the farming areas for 5 days. Following that I was going to take a 2 day train ride north but sadly that now looks impractical from a timing perspective, so I will now fly north to Ahmedabad for a day, then travel by train (12 hours!) to the Akola area and out to farms around there for 3 days. Finally I return to Ahmedabad and fly back to the UK (at 4.45am) just in time for Christmas shopping!

At the end of it HF will have a bunch more active customers and thats what its all about.
