In February 2007, I decided to go to Africa on holiday. But I did not want an ordinary holiday. I wanted to do something extraordinary. Flicking through the brochures it seemed obvious: climb Mount Kilimanjaro! I began training in February and was making good progress. A few months into my training I noticed that Anne Smith, a client of Tim’s, had just climbed Kilimanjaro. Now, I had only 6 weeks to go and was beginning to panic! I found Tim in the gym and asked him if I could have some training sessions. Within minutes we had sorted out a schedule of weekly one hour training sessions for the 5 weeks before I went, and another one for when I came back. Tim really put me through my paces and gave me the help and support I needed. His experience of training Anne helped me enormously, as did speaking with Anne about her climb. With Tim’s support, I immediately began to feel that I was getting on top of the situation, and was getting as well prepared as I could be. I am pleased to report that I made it to Uhuru Peak (‘Freedom’ Peak) the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, at an elevation of 5895m above sea level. The summit day was the most physically and emotionally demanding thing I have done to date, but it was worth it to see the sun rise over the mountain and to reach that infamous sign! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry! I did both!
