Mt Kenya, part 2

The Chogoria Route

Day – 4 - Sunday

Make a raise at around 5am and hike to the third highest

peak, point Lenana, 4985metres. Later proceed and descend

down through Mintos and all the way to Chogoria bandas.

We all made it, despite some altitude issues the day before!!!

Kvikk Lunsj - hele Norges tursjokolade :) Well deserved Norwegian chocolate!!

Marita was well dressed. Later we were told that it had been -9 degrees Celcius on the top!!

Just like a nice Easter day in Norwegian mountains :)

Down, down, down...

...and even more down....

Breakfast at Mintos` hut, three and a half hours after we left the peak.

In addition to our guide, eight porters and a cook took part in our expedition.

Inga-May is having a short break.

The view was stunning!!!

Margunn`s knee just couldn`t take it any more... Luckily the porters came back since it took so long, and they organized to carry her in turns.

Rich fauna!!

Late lunch: Noodle soup, fried chicken, eggs and toast. It is almost 4 pm, and we still have a couple of hours left to walk.

Finally, after having been hiking for more than 12 hours we reached the Chogoria bandas. We made it before the dark, and avoided elephants and buffaloes that normally come out from the forest at that time...

Day – 5 - Monday

Pick up by 4*4 from Chogoria bandas and transfer to Chogoria town.

After a 2,5 hours drive on a rough road, we were picked up in Chogoria town and brought back to Nairobi. Sore legs, but what a trip!!!
