RED NOSE@ KILIMANJARO

I have been following the exploits of the Red Nose Team on Kilimanjaro. As many of you know, I was also climbing Kilimanjaro on my way back from Lesotho. Unfortunately I went down with altitude sickness. After a day and night of constant vomiting, I had to abandon my attempt at 3800 metres. A significant number of people die every year climbing the mountain, and I wasn't keen to be another one on that list. Perhaps one day I'll go back for another attempt, but if I do, I will need to spend more time acclimatising. Take a look at the Red Nose blog. It gives you a real feel for how tough the experience is.
