Hi Conrad. Never did fathom the true reason. He was extremely nervous throughout the encounter and very glad to get away. I reckon there had been some dispute over grazing. Intriguingly, in his letter, he went on to say that his people hoped to head for the "place where we had lunch with the Hamr"! Clearly the two tribes both thought it was their place.
Brilliant storytelling and I love the premise - of connecting present day stories to your past travels
Brilliant!
Did you ever find out the reason Khalid did not want you eating from the Hammar people?
