We began our descent of Kilo back to Kibo Camp using a technique called "bombing" - it's like skiing down the scree just using your walking boots, digging your heels in as brakes. Great fun & only took 1.5 hrs to reach camp....and I now how leg muscles made of steel!
Packed up our bags at Kibo & then headed for Horombo Camp on the Marangu Route overnight, some 16 hours after commencing our summit climb!
The next morning we exchanged songs with our local trek porters, and presented them with gifts of money and unwanted clothing. We then trekked through the jungle to the finish at Kili's National Park border control where we received a certificate & got our passports stamped.
Now at the Impala Hotel in Arusha, Tanzania (enjoying fresh running water & a real bed!) then it's an overnight flight back to the UK arriving Sat (tomorrow) at Heathrow at 6am.
