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.

May 1st - 15th La Gomera

3 separate walks with on the second smallest of the 7 main Canarian Islands with Derek. Walks included the central plateau area with its dramatic gorges spectacular scenery, a trip through the luxuriant forest and a cliff top walk where sadly the promised  spectacular views of the island of La Palma were spoiled by a mist created  by a Calima, a fog associated with hot and humid weather. This is an ideal location for relaxing and hiking – but shush don’t tell anyone else about this beautiful unspoiled island.
