Found my way into your blog! You'll be up and away by now so when you read this you will be well and truly in at the deep end! I'm sure Tom Paxton would have an appropriate ballad for your situation! lots of luck, stay safe, Bob & Pili

I am now home, safe and well. Thanks to everyone who posted a message on this site. It will stay up for future reference - my own mostly.

No more blogs now, but I am sitting in an internet cafe in Dar Es Salaam. Just checked into a Muslim-run guest house, kind of by accident.. the hotel i booked with was full when i got there! Got to be careful tonight, as they "don't allow women of immoral terpitude". (sic) Got chatting to an Anglican Priest on the way down from Moshi. All being well, i will see the Wellsians in the Corner House on Friday night!
Flying home now.
Phil.

Hi Phil
Well done!!! The silence is broken, you are alive and hopefully fairly well. Its been a long 6 days, I feel I've walked every step with you. Many times I've wished I could be beamed up to join you. I hope you can find a nice big bath somwhere and have a nice long soak, you deserve it. It doesn't seem possible in 4 days time you'll be back here, we all can't wait to see you. Again, well done, look forward to your update.
Bye for now

Wishing you good luck with the climb. As I've said, not something I would care to do, but it ought to be an awesome experience. Enjoy!!
Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Big Tom
