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.

Thursday 24th May – Shatton Moor, Hope Valley – 6 miles (3 Hrs)


With Bernard – ‘Find me a hilly walk’ was my request and the beginning of this walk was certainly that with a long gradual ascent, which was not easy in the searing heat. The first part of the walk is through limestone country before reaching the Hope Valley and gritstone country but we were rewarded for our efforts with magnificent views over the Hope Valley and Win Hill and Ladybower in the distance before descending over Bradwell Edge to Bradwell.
