Why don’t you come to see us at The Altitude Centre in Covent Garden for an ‘AMS test’! We use our specialist altitude simulating equipment to test you to see how your body will respond to altitude. We are currently working with the England Football Team in their preparations for playing at altitude – so we know what we are talking about! We also had Henry Stedman in last week (guru of all things Kili and author of the Trekking Guide) and he absolutely loved the Centre and what we do.
Good luck!

congratulations on going to Kilimanjaro. I am also preparing for a trip I hope to take in january/february 2011 to celebrate my 40th Birthday. I am curious to see if you will share your gear list with me as I am struggling with what type of backpack and if I truly need heavy insulated pants (Mountain Hardwear Chugach).

thanks,

remember your bintang-drinking beer buddy Greg from the Indonesia boat trip back in 2005, and me, his lovely Irish missus Angela?? Well, I remember you, you mad eejit, going to climb Kilimanjaro!!
Hope you have fun & will be following your progress closely (for the laugh) .

Be interested to read as you prepare. I had 6 months to prepare and having walked mile upon mile inpreperation, found the whole thing not that difficult..

Cheers
