A while ago a few of us got together and decided that we'd like to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. This extinct volcano lies just to the south of the equator in Tanzania, Africa.
Below you can find out about those of us doing the climb, information about Kilimanjaro and read our blog as we attempt to summit the worlds highest walkable mountain.

Below is our 'Climbing Kilimanjaro' blog. We will try to keep it updated as much as we can but it's updated via text from our mobile phones and therefore relies on there being service in which to send our updates.
