This time next week……

As part of my Kilimanjaro training I climbed Peñalara, Madrid’s highest peak at 2428 meters. The height might be slightly misleading, as the starting point (parking lot) is at 1827 meters :).

Peñalara on Wikipedia

Around this time of the year it is usually covered with snow. However this winter season there hadn’t been much snow yet, although it was very cold! So cold that we had the chance to play in the iced water…

Some pics of the route:

    Hahaha – brave man… braving the elements….. and the Kili Support Crew’s potential disapproval of your Ice Skating!

    Looking forward to seeing you next week amigo!

    Breath-takingly beautiful scenery – you’ve got some good training ground near you, clearly.
    I don’t think anyone’s going to accuse you of being under-prepared! Enjoy…
