Day 4 - Beginning the mountain challenge

Rucksack packed and Harry is ready to climb Mount Kenya.  We then walked to school and Nicholas, Harry's guide, arrived.  He had a great send off as all the children gathered round and clapped.  We all waved as he disappeared down the road.

Activities continued in the school - lunch preparation, games including making friendship bracelets, badmington, ball games and drawing.  I recieved a text from Harry just as a storm arrived bringing lots of rain, it said 'We've reached Camp Moses which is where we shall be staying the night, bit lonely tho, writing and taking pics of the wildlife around'.  A later text read, 'wet and freezing! wish I had gloves.  Tomorrow is set to be a long walk although we will be seeing some rare plants and some valleys and the river that goes past Rose's house starts here'.

Unfortunately most of our phones are not working and internet is very touch and go so if any parents are wondering why they haven't heard from their offspring that's the reason and they are still all alive and kicking!
