Marilyn's Trek Challenges - Mount Kilimanjaro - The Great Wall of China - Machu Pichu, Peru: Sunday 8th July Barden Moor above Bolton Abbey

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.

Sunday 8th July Barden Moor above Bolton Abbey – 8 miles (3.5 hrs)

With Elizabeth and Sally. A drizzly day but an enjoyable brisk walk (at Elizabeth’s fast pace!) along the River Wharfe through the Bolton Abbey estate, up over the moors and back through Storiths. Not the best views today because of the weather but very enjoyable.
