Bob's pack had still not arrived - so reluctant to set out on something
big we decided to go up and visit Mt Kenya. We ended up doing a circuit
of the peak. This took us about 5 days.
At the National Park entrance - Loading up the gear - note Bob had
borrowed my day pack.

from the altitude (about 15,000 ft)

hyrax - a clsoe relative of the elephant.
