Nine VSOs donned their crampons for a 4-day trek to the summit of Mt Elgon, in eastern Uganda. Everyone was on‘peak’ form (get it?!)& made it to the top of the mountain’s Wagagai peak (4,321 metres), from which you can look out across to Kenya. From bamboo groves, rugged slopes, spectacular waterfalls& caves at the base, through to almost sci-fi landscapes of giant lobelia& heather, followed by crater lakes towards the top, the trek was stunning. Though my feet have yet to forgive me, it was definitely worth it! Next stop, Kilimanjaro…
