Chris Climbs Kilimanjaro!




Our Accountant Chris Hughes decided to set himself a huge personal achievement by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro last week. The physically and mentally challenging climb that leads travellers up and along the Rongai Route took him a total of seven days, including one day's acclimatisation at 3700ft.

"My worst moment was just before Gilman's Point (5685m) when I thought I was going to have to come back down due to altitude sickness," he said. Luckily for Chris, he pulled through, and one of the best moments was two hours after, when he made the summit. "I made it to Uhuru Peak (5895m) just as the sun came up. The views were amazing".
