Angus and I are planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania on 13th September 2018, taking 8 days on the Lemosho Route, which apparently has good acclimatisation and a high success rate.
Kilimanjaro is 5895 metres above sea level so problems of altitude sickness could affect us. Dead woman's pass on the Inca trail was only 4215 metres, so Kili is a real challenge at very nearly the height of Ben Nevis above Dead Woman's Pass. What could possibly go wrong?
Angus is the school mascot of Wallacestone Primary School in Falkirk. he has been all around the world on fundraising missions and adventures. The picture is of Angus and me on the Inca Trail in 2007. The "A" team is back together.
Please note, this trip is all paid for already so ALL donations will go to MacMillan Cancer Support.
