So just a quick post really (which will probably be my last before coming home now)...

In case you hadn't heard, I made it to the rooftop of Africa! This week has been exhausting but never once not enjoyable. I have come back a truly changed person! Having now proved that I can do something as ridiculous as walk in extreme altitude I feel invigorated and ready for my next challenge! I was extremely lucky with not getting any major symptoms of AMS and for those who've worked as a medic - the doc had a SATS machine with him and generally speaking from about 3000m - peoples sats were dropping to 77/81. I am pleased to be able to say that mine were 94 on summit day and only 83 at the top. Go blood cells!!

The view from Gilmans Point was just absolutely breathtaking. At that altitude you can see the curvature of the earths atmosphere which again was absolutely breathtaking. The group got on so well and I met some really interesting characters...ultimate bonding of course occurs when a toilet visit becomes necessary and there aren't any bushes to hide behind...

As a group we managed to raise over £140,000 for Marie Curie Cancer Care which is just absolutely fantastic as i'm sure you'll agree!

Tomorrow I head to Mombasa for some more adventures before flying home next Friday. So this will most probably be my last entry - which is surreal for me really. My time here has gone by so quickly and I have somehow managed to adjust to african life far too easily. It's now a home from home and I will sorely miss this place when I get back to the UK. However, my experiences here have opened up my eyes certainly and I feel like I am returning to the UK more confident and clued up/cynical than I was before...

Anyway, looking forward to seeing everybody again in just over a week. Let's hope it's not too cold...see how I cleverly missed winter and just jumped from autumn to summer??!
