Kilimanjaro, rising 4600m (15,092ft) from) its base, and 5895 m (19, 341 ft) above sea level is the highest peak in Africa. Over 4 times the height of Ben Nevis, and over 3000 times the height of me!
On the 4th of June year, I'll be flying out to Tanzania with a group from St Andrews Hospice with the aim of reaching the Summit.
We'll spend 6 days trecking on average 6 - 7 hours a day, we'll walk through Mountain forest, Moorland, Alpine desert and Ice Fields..
It's going to be a challenge, but one for a good cause.
