Research and a Kilimanjaro Thong!

Research, research, research! That's been my mission the last couple of days, although finding a picture of thongs emblazoned with 'I've Climbed Kilimanjaro' may well have been the highlight!  Please note these are not an obligatory part of the kit.

I've also had an email from a local community company, Folkestone Film Factory, who may be interested in making a promotional video to help with the fundraising.

The community side of this project seems to be developing more and more.

More people are asking to join the group and seem very enthusiastic, so I just want to sort a get together now so we can all meet up and ask the things we need to know.

So far I want to know, What are the best boots to buy? How will I cope with my contact lenses? Who is the best company to use? What airline will we be flying with? I'm sure I'll have more!

At the present time we are definitely going for the Marangu Route with the huts and the extra day for acclimatisation.

The Marangu Hotel has very good reviews for its accommodation and its guides and Emirates Airline are also highly recommended for the flight, so I need to find  a company that can incorporate all of these.

If anyone else is researching, please feel free to add links on the Facebook group page.

I'm happy to go with the majority on any decisions we make!

Right, back to the research!
