.. an essential... just not what you envisage when you think of climbing a mountain.
Have you got to carry that pile of stuff yourself?

We have toilets that travel with us Sue, but these go ahead and are set up at the camp. If you get caught short there are few places to hide
We have to carry personal kit ourselves including 2-3L of water, snacks and clothes, the rest are carried by porters that are hired for the journey. We're all reasonbably fit but not that fit we could carry all this kit ourselves.
Well we're all packed now, humans ready and off to the airport tomorrow evening, Daisy has taken to riding shotgun !

Daisy has packed her pack, she has a dollar for good luck and a selection of fenugreek
She also has her summit jacket for the top
Well this is the last you'll hear from us now until we get back from Africa. We'll do our best and try and get to the top.... as long as its safe for us to do so.
See you all in a couple of weeks
