This is our Mountain!

This is what we woke up to this morning! That's our mountain! 

We had a tough day yesterday. Over 8 hours of walking...obviously up hill :). Our lunch stop was fantastic as always, we tucked in to some soup, salad and cake. We were all in good spirits but towards the end of yesterday the emotions were running high. Some of us were walking really far behind the front and ended up walking the last hour in the dark. The terrain was incredibly tough. We were tired and emotional last night but the smiles on our faces were just so big. 

This is really the most incredible experience but tougher than we all thought. It's hard to sleep and very few of us do. Rachel Vecht and Debbie Hatchwell had a good night and Bernice snores so she definitely sleeps.  We have headaches but very little sickness.

Today is a hard but short day and its all about us getting even more acclimatised for the big summit night.

We have just finished yet again a delicious breakfast and we are off for the steep climb to Mawenzi Tarn camp 4335 meters above sea level.  

With love,
