Hi. I'm finally on my way. Had fish and chips last night at a very blustery quay, with the water overlapping the edge. Now I am in Heathrow, having been driven down by Pete.

I did it!I have successfully climbed Kili. See photo for proof. It has been an amazing week. With Kristina - a 38 year old Swedish woman and Meaghan - a 24 year old Australian. We also had a guide, an assistant guide (compulsory when hiking in the national park), a cook and 8 other porters, to carry all the food, tent, equipment, bulky luggage etc. We carried our own day packs.
