We completed our 2000m descent from Horombo huts via lunch at Mandara huts. Trekking through four geographical regions: Alpine moorland to Alpine forest to rain forest to Savanah. Now we're back at the hotel and having had the first hot shower in a week we are chilling out by the bar. Some are contemplating a sortie into town to watch Chelsea -v- Liverpool on a satellite TV in a local bar but this seems even more hairy than climbing Kilimanjaro. The rest of us will fade slowly at the bar recounting stories. . Apologies to Darren who nipped out when we took the photo....but he is here too.
What a fantastic achievement by Team Shooting Star. Can't begin to imagine how difficult it must have been. Look forward to seeing the photos, Dalton.

So glad to hear that you are all back down the mountain in one piece. Look forward to hearing all about it & seeing the pics. Well done Team Shooting Star - you are ALL STARS!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust watched the summit video. Well done again all.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure you didn't leave Darren at the summit? (we would have paid!)
Just joking Flick, honestly we are looking forward to having you back. Enjoy the rest of the trip and well done again. Both for reaching the top and the money you have all raised

Fantastic that you are all back safely, wow what an achievement and something we are all very proud of each of you for. Thanks for keeping up the blog, its really been good to hear from the team.
ReplyDeleteHope you got to that bar to see the game. I was at the Bridge last night and this morning feel like I've just been up and down Kilimanjaro! Get in!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the safari. Try not to get eaten by lions.
