The second highest mountain in all of Africa standing at 4095m above sea level and we conquered it! Huzzar! 3 days of walking, 2 nights camping and a hell of a lot of biscuits to help us keep going later we did it. A group of ten of us went and had a brilliant time – it’s an active volcano which last erupted in 2000 and as you walk down (or at least on the route we took) you walk across the ash fields, past the craters and along the lava flows – rather impressive. Also the vegetation just changed the whole time, from tropical rainforest to alpine meadows to … I don’t know all the proper terms, but it was impressive. And made all the more enjoyable by the fact that we had porters to carry our bags – yay! No way I’d of managed it otherwise that’s for sure.
