Kilimanjaro eruption

I expect most of you heard the news yesterday about Kili reactivating.  Apparently all tourist trips are being put on hold until more is known: wouldn’t this just happen to us?

When the possibility of the climb was first raised, I knew nothing at all about Kili and was pretty much out of condition. Looking back at the early blogs at the beginning of February, I was pretty vague about it all.  But I did get really into it: I have lost weight, read about it and got into training.  Now it looks like it might not happen at all: isn’t that Sod’s Law?

I will have to have another look at the Exodus brochure and see if there is something else Jae, Oscar and I can do instead.  I wonder if they would consider a family climb up Everest – or would that be a step too far?  Now what’s the date today?
