Four hours of climbing through the clouds, initially through forest, then heather and then heathland . We spotted signs of buffalo which live on the mountain and use the trekking trails in the evenings.
We stopped for lunch at first cave at 3300m, an old camping spot . A natural lava cave wit charted roof from the camp fires of early climbers.
Then 150m more climbing, in Rocky and desolate terrain.
We arrived in the cloud, the porters had already set up our tents and we had lunch in the secind cave. The only place protected from the cloud drizzle which is chilling and relentlous.
Looking for an early night as we all did not sleep well last night, a common symptom of altitude.
Tomorrow we climb to third cave at around 4000m over rough terrain. Not yet feeling any effects of altitude.
Despite the weather and the basic conditions we are all enjoying the experience.
