IMPT: Nick rocks Kilimanjaro - Sept/Oct 2009 :D

The trek begins in earnest and Nick makes his first appearance in the blogs and photos for the 28th :biggrin: Here's just a few of the photos but definitely go check out the lot, there's a lot of great'uns... (and am I having camera envy over his zoom lens :wink: )

Hey, I know it's not the done thing anymore to post about Nick, but... :wink:

Nick Heil of Backpacker magazine is on the LHS trek and has been blogging about his experiences - here they are up til today:

Important! Please click and pass this along, from LHS: "We've posted a ireport story to CNN....check it out, as the more clicks we get, the better chance we have at CNN noticing it for their homepage"

Are ALL the musicians on the trip really "legendary" ?!?

 

[Good] Bus Driver Error ?

is that what the BDE stands for on his t-shirt ... or is it one of the other meanings - http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/BDE ?

 

Sure, what the hell... :wink:
Cy and Robin (Gin Blossoms) are way more popular in the USA than here, for example...


BTW, we have a correction - don't use the short form URL! Please resend, reclick, repost
"Hello again! Turns out the bit.ly link we are using in place of the ireport link doesn't allow CNN to track views...so that being the case, here it is again, this time as the true link: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-336135 "

 

Another Ireport link to click on and pass along to others to do the same - let's get LHS on CNN's radar :biggrin:

(and yet another podcast today that got me all sniffly and stuff :crying: )

 

(I'm being nice and not mentioning Nick's new hat - though winter came early to Russia this year :blink: )

 

So?

So how is Nick?

Can we have a live report please?

andi :confused1:

 

In what way, or from whom, exactly, Andi? Don't think there's much communication coming off that mountain - that's what the blog is for. He's on the podcasts every day, seems like he's doing well...

 

Best...

Best to keep on the high ground with all the stuff going on down the oceans.
Please give him our loving support if you are in touch with him

cheers
andi

 

Please make sure to send a message yourselves - the trekkers love getting them! :biggrin:

From the blog for the 6th - love this (as does Glenn!), that's our Harpic :biggrin:

 

Bloke in the green t-shirt looks wholly underwhelmed. Can't win 'em all over, I suppose.:biggrin:

 

Thats

That's what I thought ! Presumed he may have been one of the 125 porters?

New song! One of the 125!

Well done Nick, Mike and everyone anyway!
