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 13 - Ingleborough, Yorkshire Dales

5 Hrs and 11 miles with Ann & Patrick - a new 'toughest walk yet' ! Starting out from Clapham and the Ingleborough Estate nature trail over Little Ingleborough and climbing to 2,732 ft. Ingleborough is the second highest mountain in the Yorkshire Dales and one of the three Yorkshire Peaks. It was as challenging coming down as it was going up but very enjoyable with almost perfect weather, although it clouded over when we reached the top we could still see the other two Peaks Whernside and Pen-y-ghent - a challenge for another day maybe?
