First post - mainly a test

So this is where I thought we could plan our trip, post links to useful websites, and all that jazz. I've been perusing various sites; as ever the Lonely Planet Thorntree has some good tips and is often the most up-to-date source of information, so worth keeping and eye on. I've also acquired a few books and maps in hard copy; I might attempt to scan the map in and post it here, though it doesn't cover everything we need...

The route I was looking at that went through Sikkim, India and crossed through the Nathu La Pass into Tibet seems not to have opened to foreign nationals, despite Wikipedia's optimism. So, it looks like we'll have to go to Kathmandu and take a tour across to Lhasa, links forthcoming...

Anyhow, that'll do for a first post.
