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.
Up at 2 am - awoken by cooks with Coca tea and popcorn - amazing room service! It had rained during the night and a number of people woke up foating in water (I fortunately was not one of them)3 am start as the road that was closed yesterday was only open through the night and we had to get through the pass before it closed again at 7.30 am. This was the scariest drive on an unlit uneven rocky muddy road that was extremely narrow in places - not to mention the hairpin bends! We had to get off the bus a number of times to enable the bus driver to drive safely over the rocks in the road. I have never been so scared or pleased to see daylight!
