Camp 3 at 4315 meters. Today has been physically Not to bad, and mentally very tough. Up at 0630 to pack up with breakfast at 0730 and start to climb at 0900. Straight up and over changing rocky terrain, taking on plenty of water and snacks as we went. None of us take tablets for malaria or altitude in case it effects oxygen intake. As for the pace if you put one foot in front of other touching the heel and toe as you go . That's the pace. Camp three at 0200 hrs with some seriouse frisbee and cricket going on. Then a late afternoon stretch right up to a shear ridge just below merewu peak which was awesome, high at 4650 meters. . Coming back down we were quite spread out which gave us time for quiet thought which was emotional to stay the least. Quite a feeling as thought of people we have met and those further away came through the mind and thoughts of tomorrow which we see us aiming towards our final goal the aweinsporing Kibo peak of Kilimanjaro. Mms not working. Video battery runs down quick. Photos I so hope will be good. Alex, I just may have nailed a tent shot.. Headaches, happiness, laughter, togetherness, all the team are absolutely awesome. Pole pole slow slow. Above us literaly is Merewu peak which is straight from lord of the rings. Wish you could all be here to see it. Update.. We go for the top tomorrow night . Monday leaving at midnight. Getting to the top would be a goal but just being here trying to be the best one can be is what really counts . Hoping for luck tomorrow. X
