This is Number 1!
Ever since I was in Tanzania working on the implementation of software for a bank on Azikiwe Street, I have been fascinated with the prospect of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro (yes that is the picture at the top of my blog!)
Kilimanjaro is the highest point in Africa, it's very near the equator, it is still topped with snow, and it is a dormant volcano! What more could you want for a decent workout? I am not sure how soon this will happen as there is a lot to be thought through first, and some domestic logistics to take into consideration - but as Zig Ziglar says in the Lessons of Goal Settings: "State the Goal, Set the Deadline". The summer of 2011 at the earliest but who knows at this early stage.
The Irish Red Cross have a number of sponsored treks up Kilimanjaro this year, one last week, one next week, and one at the end of September. I believe they had to lay on the third trek as the first two were over-subscribed!

Here is a great picture that my eight-year-old son took. I love the light and the colours - the sky and the car have the same shades. He is not an accomplished photographer (well he is eight) but he does know how to use his mini-slr Fuji camera, and this photo has encouraged him to look for creative shots and explore his talent more. And its a brilliant perpective on my car!
