The Barn Team Climbs Kili with The Nasio Trust

It is a week since we returned home from the adventure that had been in the planning for 18 months. It is a week that has gone past in a bit of a blur, but I am beginning to feel like we’re coming back down to earth. I am still thinking about the trip a lot and parts of it seem very surreal.

Krzysztof’s Climb Adventure!

This idea came to my mind 1 year before the trip. I just turned 39 years old then .By a pure coincidence I met at work a gentleman now in his late 90’s who for long years was the oldest man ever (in Guinness Book) who reached the summit of Kilimanjaro. That’s how I started researching the subject and thinking realistically about it.

As a Christian, it was the desire of my heart to raise money and to put my loving arms around the orphaned children in Kenya, who so desperately need our love.

I’ve been back in the UK for a week now since returning back from Kenya. I took this time prior to writing this to reflect on […]

Costas: Climbing In Memory Of His Son

I decided to try and climb Kilimanjaro in January 2016 in memory of my son Tom who had passed away in October 2009 at the age of 23 due to a slow moving brain tumour. It would have been Tom’s 30th birthday and I felt I had to do something special in his memory and at the same time raise funds for a charity. After looking at various alternatives on the Internet, I decided to fund raise for Nasio Trust and Astro Brain Tumour Fund.

Steve, Krishna, Rathna, Chitra, Jonathan and Jason’s Climb

I was looking at various websites hoping to find a worthwhile charity to support for the Kilimanjaro climb. I had wanted to attempt this climb for some 30 years or so after a friend told me about his experience but somehow never quite got round to it! I am now 63, my wife 65 and her sisters 60 and 62, so I figured if we didn’t do it this year we probably never would!

Mountain Midlife Crisis

In February 2014 I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania! It has taken me nearly two years to write about the experience. I decided in December 2013 that I would take on the challenge and I then had three months to get the gear, prove I was fit enough and raise £3,000 for the charity. Why […]

Any Surprises Up There?

We asked our Kili conquerors of Summer 2014 a bit about their experiences of climbing Kili with us. Here’s a snapshot of what they thought… When asked ‘What surprised you the most?’ We had a variety of answers but one stood out as the most surprising – altitude! We just don’t know how altitude will […]

Monkey Business

This year I set out to conquer Mount Kilimanjaro. I wasn’t the outdoors type so this was a challenge and a half for me. I had no idea how much my time on the mountain would change me. I started working at the Nasio Trust in June 2014 and went to experience the fundraising challenge […]
