Kilimanjaro in review

Thank you to everyone who sponsored me for climbing kilimanjaro in Tanzania in November. It was a truly unforgettable experience - deeply terrifying at times, wonderfully amazing at others and in all of those days a deep thanks to God.

Here are some images

all this for five of us! all carried by the  porters up the mountain

Kilimanjaro from the lowlands - snow was added during our climb

Mawenzi  after a night of snow and hail

View of Kilimanjaro after some snow the day before we assaulted the summit 

Yes this small tent is what you think it is - a room with a view

protea in the wild

It took a great deal longer to go up than come down!

Vegetation changes according to the hight of the mountain

our amazing porters and guides

All this raises money for the BLMF - too cold for the diocesan tee-shirt
