    A great trip - would definately recommend doing this longer trip which gives you 8 days on the mountain, than one of the shorter ones. I have friends who have done shorter trips and who have ended up with altitude sickness. I followed the instructions and drank lots of water and I think that along with the longer time on the mountain, this was why I didn't even have a headache!

    For a first timer on such a trip, the information available on what to take and what not to take was very misleading. I could've taken certain things in place of other stuff I didn't need.

    What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

    It was my first adventure/climbing holiday (it wont be my last) and I never knew how I would feel on the trip.  From the moment we first Saw Kilimanjaro, on the connecting flight from Nairobi to Kilimanjaro International, you got a sense of the size of the mountain, and a sense of awe at what you are about to do.  Nothing compares to your fist sunset when you see the snows turn red, and nothing will compare to the sun rise at lava tower when the sun rose over the crater rim....and certainly nothing will compare to the sun rise at the summit, with the blood red sun breaking over the horizon with the old wooden sign that congratulates you at the top in the foreground. Kili was inspirational, as was Tanzania; from the enthusiasm of the locals and the guides, to the silence of the slopes of Kili, my 12 days in Tanzania are 12 that I will never forget.

    What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

    The magic moment for me was the final ascent to the top. Looking up at 3 in the morning to see the twinkling lights of the groups ahead of us. As dawn approached we could look down on the clouds. As the light approached the holes in the cloud cover were transformed into clouds of light moving over the landscape. First dull ochre to brilliant yellow and then the sun rose into view. On a practical note - who would have expected 3 good meals a day. Fresh fruit, meat and lots of tea. The guides really took care of us!  The Shira route is the way to go. If you are going all that distance you need to acclimatise. We were almost all headache free and could really enjoy where we were!

    What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

    It's an obvious one, but the realisation at 6:15 in the morning, as the sky was starting to lighten, that we had reached Stella Point, that six hours of slogging upwards in a windchill of about -20C was all worthwhile.  The walk to Uhuru Point was easy after that - I could almost have run it!
