The troops have set off. After an early start this morning, the crew, bags packed jumped in 4x4's to make their way to the checking point to start their hike. With only 2 hours of walking today, the crew were in good spirits to get started and start the epic trip. Yesterday was spent visiting the local town and one of the schools and getting used to their *one in a lifetime* surrondings.
Today the group will arrive to Mti Mkumbwa which is 2 hours walking time from camp. I think tomorrow truly is the long day and today could be described as the "warm up" as tomorrow they start a 6 hour walk and gain 719 m in altitude but will start to appreciate the amazing views!
I have added the pictures of the guys "pre" walk
I think it is important to remember that this is very much a trip to remember two important men, Paul and Tom and to give back to the royal marines charitable trust for all their support to both girls.
Keep supporting and hopefully we will hear from them all again once they are in reception areas!
