11th October 2010: Summit Conquered!!
Yes, we did it! Absolute fantastic experience - and achievement.
Conditions on the Mountain were varied with changing climates - humid rain-forrest to arctic temperatures within 7days. 32 sherpa's supported our team of ten via the very challenging 'Machame route'.
Headaches were a common iritent - but thankfully the team didn't suffer with altitude sickness (thanks to the help of the wonder-drug that is: Diamox!)
After a very exhausting summit day - that saw us trekking for 19hrs & missing a nights sleep, we rested at our final camp before returning back to the hotel - a 2hr drive in Moshi.
...Now back in the UK and looking back at what was an incredible, humble & unique experience. The team are now forever united with the greatest memories that will remain a special moment for a life time.
Thank you for your support. The team's total amount raised=£15,000. Fantastic!! x
