GWEN’S LIVE UPDATE: I’ve heard from the team. ‘We are at the Moivaro Coffee Lodge. It’s fabulous – individual huts in amongst coffee and banana plants. Currently in the bar before dinner. Everything is packed for a 7.30am start tomorrow.’
JAE’S PRE-WRITTEN POST: So the big day is actually here. It’s today that we start climbing the biggest free-standing mountain in the world – Mount Kilimanjaro – after six months of wittering on about it!
The plan is that each day there will be a post which tells you, very briefly, what we’ve done the day before (courtesy of Exodus Travel’s trip notes). Where there is any signal at all I will try to text Litlun in Australia to tell her how we’re doing. If she recieves a text she will share its content with you in the next day’s post.
Litlun (Gwen Blake) has access to the blog and the Facebook page too – so send her a message on Facebook – www.facebook.com/3GKiliClimb if you have any useful info, or any questions.
I hope it all works while we’re away and you get daily updates.
Wish us luck, Jae (and Sheila and Oscar too) xxx
Looking good guys! It is heartening to see that Oscar’s hair is managing to stay in immaculate condition!
Either his coiffure will be drooping by the end of the trip or we will know that hair gel was his one luxury item. Or is that “Desert Island Discs”? Or that he knows an anti-gravity spell, or is that “Harry Potter”?
Glad to see you are all safe and well-wishing you best of british and hope weather is kind x
