Marilyn's Trek Challenges - Mount Kilimanjaro - The Great Wall of China - Machu Pichu, Peru: Week 10

Another trek challenge completed - Reaching
the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro at 19,341 feet above sea level and the highest
free standing mountain in the world is my proudest achievement so far. I didn’t start trekking until I retired and I
have surprised myself (and many others) in what I have accomplished. I have had
the most incredible experiences and met some amazing and inspirational people. Thank you so much for all of your
support on each endeavour and for believing in me. You have helped me to raise £9,500 on this
trek taking the total for all three treks to a fantastic £18,000, with Gift Aid to be added to that total.

Week 10 - Hope to Losehill, Derbyshire

2 Hrs with Bernard and finally current news! A very challenging uphill walk for me from Hope to Twitchhill Farm, across to Losehill overlooking both Hope and Edale Valleys which was shorter than originally planned because of pending heavy rain and storms, which can be seen brewing in the picture. Making it back to Hope and lunch at the Blue Apple Gallery and into the car just as the heavens opened - the timing couldn't have been more perfect!
