Thursday 10 November 2022: Chhauchha (~2850 m) - Upper Chyakhu (3800 m)
Nar Phu Day 2
Route: Chhauchha / Cho Cho / Chhomchu (~2850 m) - Singenge Dharmasala (3290m) - Meta / Methang (3560 m) - Upper Chyakhu / Upper Chyakho / Upper Chyako (3800 m)
A morning of up through forest and over and behind waterfalls. A signpost at Hulaki Odar (3000m) and a tea stop at Dharmasala (3210m) then on to Meta for lunch at the Terelha Guesthouse. And two very cute puppies.
At Meta the narrow section of the Nar Khola valley that provides the main route into Nar Phu broadens out and in the afternoon we followed the contours, branching off north east into the Phu valley. Another deep ravine, this time carved out by the Phu Khola that comes in from the mountains and glaciers that form the Nepal-Tibet border. Getting higher, it's cold once the sun goes - but we got a warm welcome at the lovely Karma Hotel in Upper Chyakhu. Stove on, darts (!), dinner.
Overnight: Karma Hotel, Upper Chyakhu

Scottish Rights of Way signs - "directions" to some of the most remote and wild parts of the UK, complete with health and safety warning!
With two arms and its annulus finial missing, this Stanton post looks rather sad. Since this photo taken around 2006 the post has been painted. Grid ref: TL 5314 3786
Photographed in 2006 after the base of the pillar had been repaired/reinforced. This is an IRS Ltd posts. TL 4460 3511
I had just come down the hill from the farms, and this signpost on Smithers Lane gives you the next direction to go - about a mile or so on roads which was hairy!
This signpost is at the end of Ferry Road very near The Anchor public house. I've read that the Centenary Walk follows the bank of the River Crouch for a while before heading inland to join footpaths going towards Hockley. I have walked some of this route decades ago without knowing about this name. I'm not able to do so nowadays though.
Presumably the H.P.C. on the signpost is Hullbridge Parish Council.
***update See comment from John Myers below for some detailed information. Important for anyone thinking of walking the route***
