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 15 - Leeds City Centre to Otley via Meanwood Valley Trail

7 Hrs and not sure how many miles - 16ish! with James & Hannah. The Meanwood Valley Trail is a footpath which runs from Woodhouse Moor near the University of Leeds, along Woodhouse Ridge through Headingley, Meanwood and Adel where it meets the Leeds Country Way linking to the Dales Way. Again the Red Kites that are usually out were shy and we didn't managed to see even one! We finished at Otley Chevin Forest which featured several interesting wood carvings (one shown on the left), enjoyed the magnificent views over the Wharfe Valley and wearily walked down into the town where we had a well earned refreshment stop in a nearby pub before catching the bus back to Leeds!
