Mini-Sven at Kilimanjaro

Posted 24th August 2010
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania : Distance Travelled = 127,943 miles

Morning all!
I've on my next adventure, in East Africa. I've travelled to the Kilimanjaro national park and I'm going to climb the highest peak. It's a very long walk, 6 days in total and the air is very thin. You need to be very fit and walk very slowly! You can see me at the start of the walk at the Machame gate with our guide Whitey. He was very good and showed us the way! You can also see me with a view of the peak. I kept seeing little scraps of red yarn in places, so I think I'm not alone here. I'll have to keep a good look out for my good friend Treacle - make sure he doesn't get into trouble. You know what he's like!
lots of love

Mini-Sven at Kilimanjaro part 2

Kilimanjaro, Tanzania : Distance Travelled = 127,962 miles

Morning all!
We made it to the top of Kilimanjaro. It's a really amazing mountain, it's the worlds largest freestanding mountain, at 5893 meters above sea level. The top of it is called the Uhuru Peak and it's a really, really long way up! There are three dormant volcanos up here which do give out gas sometimes, so it's a little scary. But after the walk I was too tired to worry about those! I finally caught up with Treacle, we met at the top and had our pictures taken together. It was good to see a familiar friend. Now let's see if I can keep him out of trouble!
lots of love
