Climbing Kilimanjaro: Day 8 – Reunited
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC01047_thumb.jpg
Fri. 12th July 2013 Jambo! Nina itua David. Kutoka rahoni asantini sana. Kwakazi nzuri mliofania. I did the first part of my speech thanking the porters in Swahili – thanks to David (the guide) for a crash course in some …
Climbing Kilimanjaro: Day 7–High Achievement

Thur. 11th July 2013 Start altitude: 4,600m Max. altitude: 5,895m Camp altitude: 3,800m Actually, it isn’t tomorrow – we’re woken at 11pm so it is still yesterday. Forget about washy-washy, get dressed (pull on yet more layers), get your pack …

Climbing Kilimanjaro: Day 4 – Lava Tower

Mon. 8th July 2013 Start altitude: 3,840m Max. altitude: 4,600m Camp altitude: 3,900m It’s obvious from my notes for today that it was a hard day’s walking. I’ve barely managed two sides of my little A6 notebook in sparse bullet …
Climbing Kilimanjaro: Day 3 – At The Cathedral
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00876_thumb.jpg
Sun. 7th July 2013 Start altitude: 3,550m Max. altitude: 4,000m Camp altitude: 3,840m It was a cold night on the mountain. Despite being in a 4 season sleeping bag (though not the 4/5 season that I thought we had booked) …
