On the 5th Feb I will be leaving for Tanzania to attempt to climb Kilimanjaro
Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world. At nearly 20,000 feet Kilimanjaro is one of the new seven wonders of the world and I can't wait! Please follow my progress here as I climb up the mountain and hopefully reach the top on Friday 12th February. Wish me luck !!!!

I DID IT !!!!


After without doubt the hardest hours of my life, I, along with 16 of my climbing colleagues, climbed walked and crawled to the summit of this torturous mountain.

Several of us, me amongst them, had problems on the summit climb. At times losing balance, feeling sick and dizzy, this was an incredibly hard experience. But I did it and I am so proud of myself. I don't think I've ever been "to the limit" before - but this was it. My hands and face are a little swollen and I am completely shattered.

But I got there. I bloody well did it and I am so flipping proud of myself I cannot tell you. Well done me and well done to everyone else in the group. Lord knows how, but we did it.

Now I am on the way back down just about putting one foot in front of the other.

TTFN.
