A six-day trip with friends from Norway, Germany and Iceland to Point Lenana on Mount Kenya, following the Sirimon route on the ascent and Chogoria route on the descent.
Day 1 :
Drove from Nairobi to the Sirimon park gates, a short distance from Nanyuki. Took a 3-hour walk to the Old Moses camp at 3300m where we were staying for 2 nights. Weather was pleasant with a few spots of rain but good visibility.
Day 2: Acclimatisation walk from Old Moses Camp
...To a viewpoint at 3900m looking over the Liki valley. Initially good sunny weather but it clouded over by about 9 or 10am, so we wended up having lunch at the view point in cloud and some light drizzle. Fortunately we got back to the Old Moses camp again before the really heavy downpours of rain started in the afternoon. Nice sunset just before >>>
