Engagement announcement

5th November 2007

Got engaged on Exodus Holiday

At 7:30 am we reached Gilman’s Point 5685m onto of the mountain's crater rim. We were delighted to get there - the view was spectacular. Sarah could have comfortably gone on the summit but I had far more important business at hand (and was mindful of her descent). Here my love who had defeated her fears and preconceptions of impossible, she was the girl for me. I gave my camera to Carol. Atop of Africa, I knelt on one knee, took out a diamond ring and asked Sarah to marry me. Sarah was surprised and bursted into tears. She said yes! Happy day. I have never been happier on top of a mountain. We were all ecstatic. We looked across the glaciers and to the summit and were content. Sarah achieved what she thought was impossible and found a diamond!

Many thanks to Kevin Long for sharing this wonderful moment with us and may we wish you both the very best for the future and congratulations on your achievement on reaching Gilman's Point.
