text: To Jessami, a longish march though rather in time than distance. Left Khizobama at 8.30 and got in to Jessami at 4.45, with only 20 minutes halt on the way. The road is a steep path down from the bridle path about 4 miles beyond Khizobama to the Thetsoleru stream down the bed of that stream to the Razarr, down the bed of the Razarr to the Lanier and down the Lanier to the Jessami panikhets by the Jessami-Lozaphehomi bridge. Thence up to Jessami on steep climb. About 16 or 17 miles altogether but not bad going. Ran into a small pack of teal and succeeded in bagging one.
