Kilimanjaro briefing

Well we have just finished our Trek briefing and met 5 other members of our group, Stefan, toby, johnny, armando and carmen with 2 more to join later. we have been allocated 1 cook, 1guide leader, 5 assistant guides,8 porters and 24 assistant porters thats 39 in total helping our group of 11!

Our guide apparently helped Chris Moyles to the top so there is hope for us yet! They make it sound easy but when you have climbed it 180 times I guess it would be. We have been informed that we will be well fed, and should not expect to loose weight. Not sure that Russ will agree with the first bit! Nerves are starting to kick in now and I try and put altitude sickness to the back of my mind. Positive mental attitude!

The group will meet again at dinner this evening then hopefully a good sleep (not sure whether Russ managed to catch and dispose of the cockerel whilst myself and Si went on our trek earlier!)then a 9am meet in reception tomorrow morning.........

Not sure If I will be able to do a regular update on the blog as the signal will be intermitant, so love you boys, bahave and take care of mummy for me x
