I've told everyone now, so I have to do it.

Climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa, that is.

I've been reading up about it. Apparently, it's not mountaineering, but walking - or rather 'trekking', as the experts say.

There's a lot to consider though. Equipment. Altitude sickness. And what appropriate music to download.

I've joined a walking group, so that it'll be more fun than struggle. Some of the local ramblers look really fit and should put me through my paces.
