*** I did it! I Conquered Mount Kilimanjaro!! ***

There is no doubt that this is going to be the toughest thing I have ever done. Myself and a couple colleagues from my work, Tata Steel UK are going to climb the tallest freestanding mountain in the world. Mount Kilimanjaro!! I will be climbing the 19,334ft to the summit to raise money for Marie Curie Cancer Care mid March 2012.

Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania, which is the largest mountain in Africa at 19,334 feet above see level. (To put that in perspective, thats over 3.6miles high!) This is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world!!

On my '7 day' trek I will be covering more than 80 kilometers on foot to make it to the summit. I will be spending 7 days on the mountain braving the sub-zero temperatures and battling altitude sickness to walk for up to sixteen hours a day. On summit day I will be wearing my Grimsby Town top!!
