Ngong Hills

Yes, I do like hiking, if you haven´t already noticed... Today´s trip with some of my colleagues from Rosslyn was no exception. Good company, fun driving, perfect weather, fantastic view, excellent food - pancakes cooked on a camping stove (takk til Oddvar og Elin som innførte den tradisjonen!)- no reason to complain! We even had a machine gun guard to protect us.. It is great to have such beautiful mountains so close, where the air is fresh as in Norwegian mountains, and the altitude close to 2500 meters above sea level. Only 20 km from where I live, and you can see all of Nairobi on one side of the hills, and far into Rift Valley on the other. They say it is possible to see both Mt Kenya and Mt Kilimanjaro on a clear day. We were happy for the clouds, though, as going uphill was pretty steep. We got warm enough without the sun shining...
