Book Description
This is the story of the Welsh Guards' journey across Africa. Their guiding principle was to avoid centres of civilisation and face any challenge that came their way. With groups of men and women who where mostly novices, they covered 40,000 miles of extreme conditions. John Warbuton-Lee first dreamt up the idea of his trip whilst lying in hospital after breaking his back in a rock-climbing accident. It became a personal goal for him not only to walk again, but to lead an expedition that would be a true adventure in the old-fashioned sense. On the trip he was also able to help Weston Spirit, the charity set up by ex-Welsh Guardsman and Falklands casualty Simon Weston.

Book Description
A spectacular collection of images and words that offer a detailed glimpse into the unique beauty and rhythm of Africas natural wonder. Mount Kilimanjaro is the African continents highest mountain and the worlds tallest freestanding mountain. It is a geological wonder formed, sculpted, and molded by the natural forces of volcanic fire and glacial ice. At 19,340 feet (5895 meters) high, Kilimanjaro towers above the Great Rift Valley and lies 3 degrees south of the equator, on the northern border of Tanzania, close to southeast Kenya. Kilimanjaro is an accessible mountain that one can climb without the help of any technical equipment. The ascent starts from the cultivated lower slopes with dry blistering heat, through a lush, wet rainforest jungle, into heath and moorland zones, all the way up to the desolate alpine desert landscape and the steep, exposed arctic summit area, where one will experience breathtaking views of the legendary snows of Kilimanjaro. Moushabeck and Schulz invite you along as they explore and climb Mount Kilimanjaro. In this book they capture the essence of this majestic mountain with over 200 full-color photographs and an engaging and entertaining narrative that smoothly ties together personal observations with the mountains history, its people, and its ecology.
