The starting point - Machame Gate - already 1,800m
Some things to bear in mind...
The timings of what we were going to do
The porters get their loads and set off.
At first we walked through rain forest
This started to thin out as we climbed higher
There were some nice flowers on the way
We got to the camp site in about 4 hours of relatively easy walking - already 3,000m
We go the first view of the mountain in the evening...
