The Telegraph has just done an article about climbing Mt Kilimanjaro.

Mount Kilimanjaro: Climb and punishment

My new Hammock

Guy Radford January 24th, 2010

I went on a Foraging and Falconry course back in October. I have always slept on the ground under a bivi sheet and in a bivi bag. This time it took ages to find a good location as the woodland was sloping and it was dark. After the first night I woke up with a stiff neck and realised that the floor was not as comfortable as I remembered!  A few of the other people had taken hammocks and this seemed like a good idea.

Over the last month or so I have been reading up about hammocks and looking into what is available. The final dicision came down to two:

1) Hennessy Expedition Asym Hammock
2) DD Hammocks - Frontline Hammock

I watched loaded of videos on youTube before I decided that I likes the look of DD Hammocks Frontline hammock.

Last week it arrived, I also bought the 3m tarp as mine was not long enough.
I have now had a chance to set it up and lay in it and I am very please.

I have just received an invite to climb Mount Kilimanjaro later this year! Wow what an opportunity.

I will need to be fitter and plan my kit…oh and save up! What a great adventure this could be.
