A tough day

Yikes! I set off in a couple of days to try and climb Kilimanjaro. Just seen that on the last day we get up at midnight, ascend 1200m to summit in the morning then descend 3000m in the afternoon. Might need a beer that evening...
 
I did tell you and by the way it's effin freezing at midnight, fingers crossed you make it.
 
one of my bucket list items was to snowboard on Kilimanjaro. Good luck with the climb!
 
Thanks for the kind words and encouragement guys, much appreciated.

It seemed a good idea when we booked it last summer - a group of us all wanting a bit of adventure as we approach 50. As is so often the case it then grew a life of it's own and (having paid all the costs ourselves) turned it into a charity fundraising venture, too. We've now raised over £12k for four different charities so even if we fail to reach the top there's a positive slant.

I'll post some piccies in about a fortnight!
 
Enjoy! Kilimanjaro is a good place to start to catch "the mountain bug". Soon you'll be setting your sights on the next one!
 
Thanks for the kind wishes, Chaps. We made Kilimanjaro summit at dawn last Thursday. Tough but worth it! Pictures to follow!
