May 4th - 6th - Mt Kenya with Cody.

There is a hike up Mt. Kenya being organized for this coming weekend, May 4^th-6^th. We will be taking the Naro Moru route. We can carpool and will leave on Friday afternoon at 2pm from the Shell Petrol station in front of the Sankara hotel just up from the Westlands roundabout. We will drive up to Naro Moru and pick up Hiram (the guide) and then drive to Met Station where we will stay on Friday night. Hiram is saying that any vehicles that are planning to drive need to be 4-wheel drive. We will hike from Met Station to Makinder’s on Saturday and then summit on Sunday morning and return all the way to Nairobi by Sunday evening (approx. 8pm). According to the price quote by Hiram the trip will cost approximately 15,000ksh per person (if 5 hikers go, and reducing slightly if more people go), which includes accommodation, food, guide and porters, and park entry fee (residents). Each person will need to bring their own hiking gear, rain gear, and sleeping gear. If anyone is interested in joining please contact Cody Lidster
