Picture of the week 51

This photo was taken just outside of the Mweka Gate Hut as the officials completed our summit certificates. Our Tusker Land Rover waited a few steps away ready to whisk us down through the gauntlet of souvenir salesmen and hawkers as we headed, joyful to be riding, to the first shower in 11 days.

We made sure to break-in our Asolo boots prior to the climb but they were basically new when we started the trek. As you can see, our trusted foot-gear took a vigorous pounding and left the mountain with true character.
