Today our webmaster Aidan is starting on a multi-day walk which is rather more challenging than our normal pilgrimages: the ascent of Kilimanjaro, which he is doing to raise money for the Kwale Eye Centre in Kenya.
Aidan was the champion our use of Naismith’s rule to plan the timings for each day of the walking pilgrimages, however he remarks that the formula will not apply in this case as it does not take account of oxygen deficiency at extreme altitudes!
Please see Aidan’s Go Fund Me page to donate.
Great to hear about Aidan. I am staying at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro for the next 6 weeks. I come to Tanzania twice a year for water projects.
Breaking news: Aidan reached the summit this morning.
