For Christmas I received a book on Kilimanjaro thanks to my dear skin and blister.
Some stats that are a might concerning, like 10 to 15 people die on the mountain each year (apparently Tanzanian government are understandably cagey on exact number) and that Western breach ( our route to summit) was closed 2004 for a while after rock falls and fatalities..
But good news too, our route in is classified as moderate/hard and recommended as it takes 7 days giving us longer to get acclimatised to altitude.
I brought a pair of running shoes yesterday.
Plan is to use them as part of training, never been much of a jogger..
Will let you know how it goes.
