Wow! What a day! Our first casualty, the Baranco Wall, and now we are perched high on our campsite above the Karanga Valley.
Jules became our first non-altitude casualty when she turned her ankle as we scrambled up the Baranco Wall. Like most of the group, though, she is made of stern stuff and with a good field dressing has managed to limp into camp this evening, determined to carry on.
Today's trek has been enjoyed by everyone, particularly the wall climb this morning. Our route is amazing with its scenic aspect of Uhuru throughout and spectacular views back down to the rift valley below. Tonight we prepare ourselves for tomorrow's onslaught in good spirits with most of us suffering no more than fatigue. Lorraine trudged into camp this afternoon and deserves special mention for achieving so much already. We are all behind her efforts to conquer the summit on Friday morning.
You must all be feeling so proud of yourselves! Challenges are never half so satisfying as when they are tough and you guys are certainly doing it in style!
ReplyDeleteWhat an experience for you. Life in MK will never be the same again.
Thanks for keeping us posted with your news. You've nearly (but not quite) made me wish I was with you. Such an inspiration to us all!
Keep on going... this it it - one last push and you've achieved something that can never be taken away from you!
ReplyDeleteGo Lorraine! Pole Pole!
ps: It snowed today in MK. x
