Route Up Kilimanjaro

Well the travels start today, and all being well after flights to London, Doha, Dar es Salaam and finally Arusha, we should be starting our trek up Mount Kilimanjaro. After lots of searching around, we ended up booking through Keys Hotel who have been fantastic and really useful bringing the trip together.

I’ll let you know how the trip went when back at the end of the month, but if you would like an idea of where we’ll be, then go onto http://images.google.co.uk/ and type in the names of the huts detailed below, then you’ll be able to see pictures of where we should be on the given day!!

Independent Mountain Off To Kilimanjaro

After a summer of training, i’m heading off to Africa to Climb Kilimanjaro next week. At 5895m Kilimanjaro is pretty high, and they actually have a pretty low success rate due to the numbers affected by altitude sickness, but i’m going to do my best to fly the Independent Mountain flag on the top and hopefully get to see the glacier in the crater up top!! WIth just 7 days before I leave, keep an eye on the blog to hear about all the preparations and see how it all goes!!
