Made it home all intact. An amazing experience. Heaps of highlights. Obviously the climb to the top of Kilimanjaro, but also visiting Judith and her family in the north of Uganda and the work of Orphans Aid International in Entebbe
We made it to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro (Uhuru Peak) on Wednesday 12 October, 7am. Tough but rewarding! Please continue to donate!
Today we start climbing the mountain. No wifi or reception so see you on the other side
Row done and dusted in a time of 3hr 53min. Just Andrew did the Whiskey Creek run in 39min - legs nicely loosened up! In Auckland now on our way tomorrow night!
Last challenge before we take off in 10 days time for Africa is a 50km row (25km each) and finishing off with a 5km run around Whisky Creek - Dolamore Park just to shake the legs out after the row! This Saturday 9am at Gore Crossfit, Hokonui Pavilion. Come and cheer us on or hop on a rower too for a few kms!
Hi all. Next crazy challenge is the maximum number of East Peak summits from Grant's Carpark, Croydon Bush, Gore, Saturday 27 August. Rain, hail or shine - hopefully shine! Starting 7am through to 7pm. Each lap averages 5.4kms and 460m elevation gain. Hoping and praying the body lasts the distance - but all for a good cause!
I have been isolating this past week having come down with Covid. The next challenge was due to be on this weekend but will have to give the body a bit more rest. Will keep you posted!
First challenge this Saturday to help us get to the top of Kilimanjaro. Weather not much chop this week - treadmill comes in handy. Aim is to do 50kms - doesn't sound quite as bad as Josh and I will share that, so 25ks each!
