Ascent Trip Report

A self-supported trek after spending 2 months working in a hospital in Kaimosi, Western Kenya.

Turned up at the Naro Moru River Lodge enormously unprepared and had to make do with buying a load of snacks to sustain me for the 3 day hike and without much in the way of warm clothing, oh the incompetence of youth! Stayed at the Met Station and Mackinder's Camp en route. A beautiful trek transitioning through different ecological zones with fascinating flora and fauna, wide-ranging views over the plains and stunning close-ups of the rocky true summits of Mount Kenya; although the vertical bog nearly finished me off!
