I did it!!!! How I did it – I honestly don’t know. I certainly cannot claim to be the fittest in the world but I surely had to a pretty stable state of mind to do this. I have never been so mentally challenged on a hike. On 25th February 2008 and exactly 1:35 pm, clothed to the core, crampons, ropes, harness, gaiters and all - I stepped onto Margherita Peak.
This, my friends is Margherita Peak – parts of her bare ROCK!!!!
So here is ME – on the peak - freezing. Ooooops I forgot to stand with the Zambian flag….hehehhehe - here I am below:
Here I am proudly displaying my Zambian flag… just had to.
I decided to begin from the climax before delving into details of how every day went. In the coming days I will share with you some interesting insights into this wonderful, exciting and also challenging 8-day trek through the Rwenzori – Mountains of the Moon.
Watch this space…;-)

Well done my dear friend! I hope more of us will follow your footsteps. I thought the challenge I had to climb Mulanje mountain (only 3500m) in 3 days was a killer, but this tops it all!
I am looking forward to reading your entire tour's revelations.
Maybe we should organize a trip like this with the girls........
Congratulations once more and I hope you are taking time to treat those legs that carried you through the entire trip safely.
