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.

Monday September 27th - Day 1 of Trek







Breakfast at 8 am and feeling acclimatised after a good night's sleep. At morning briefing advised that day's plans had changed. Because of road closure we couldn't reach beginning of Trek. Another red hot day. Drove to Moray to see ancient greenhouse circles, then on to unplanned camp site in Sacred Valley at Calco and a 3 hr Trek locally. Very basic facilities! but good food provided by camp cooks. Nice and warm in sleeping bag but didn't sleep too well!
