Its today

This is it. All the talk of it. All the reading about it. Buying all the equipment. A year of practice walks.

Today started with final packing, breakfast and filling up with water. We were at 1300 metres at the Coffee plantation and it was quite chilly at 6am.

We have a three hour drive to Landarosso gate and then a steep trek to our first campsite at 2650 metres.

Scary - butterflies - excited

Hang about... This sounded quite dramatic until you said "We have a three hour drive to Landarosso gate".

So your epic walk starts with a 3 hour drive? Am going to get on Google Earth in a mo, I'm expecting to see a new dual carriage way that goes straight to the top of Kilimanjaro.

Hope you've had a great day today guys. Sore legs already? Jimmer would you please get bry to text me where he's put his old passport - need to send it ASAP but he hasn't left it in the travel wallet. Many thanks. Good luck tomorrow - you all might need it!

Jamie, a year of training consisted of taking the train thing up Snowdon, the Gondala up Ben Nevis, and the cliff thing at Bournemouth.
