Other Information - Setting: August 2nd: "The march started in drizzling rain along a very muddy more or less level track until a mile above Kargyu Gompa we went very steeply downhill. Everywhere masses of lovely wild flowers abounded, the most noticeable being a red wild rose, and a lovely small azalea covered with white or creamy blossom" ['Lhasa Mission, 1936: Diary of Events', part 1, written by Brig.
