KILIMANJARO

KILIMANJARO
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 5 - The Swastika Stone from Ilkley Town



May 30th - A 3.1/2 hr walk with James and Hannah. We have walked together before but this is the first of our Peru training walks. The walk starts with a pretty steep ascent up to the White Wells, a restored 18th century bath house (which is well worth a visit and can be reached from an alternative easier short walk). We continued our walk over the moorland and around the Swastika Stone taking in the extensive views across to Wharfdale, and having worked up an appetite we rewarded ourselves with a very enjoyable Italian meal at Piccolino restaurant in Ilkley before heading home!
