Advice For Any One Climbing Kilimanjaro

---

I know there are people I have met thinking of climbing Kilmanjaro. This is the advice I can offer...

Sleep. Get as much of it on the way up as possible, you’ll need it on summit day.

Take lots of warm clothing. Again you’ll need it on summit day.

Eat as much as possible, even if you’re not in the mood force it down if you have too. If this means taking a pile of junk food up with you, take a pile of junk food up with you.

Before you finish walking for the day, walk up abit further. It will help you acclimitise. Do this no matter how bad you feel, it will help you feel better and sleep better.

Loads of mental drive.

Don’t loose hart. It is lots of walking. Remember that you a re ascending a fre4e standing mountian and so you start relatively low.

Listen to your guide.

Be realistic. If you’re feeling like Saqib and myself then bear in mind that the mountian will be there when you decide to come back. If you carry on and injure your self, you may never come back.

And lastly…

Good Health, Safe Journey & My Best Wishes
