Early morning over Shira Camp	Kevin stirs

Pat prepares	KK beautifies

Tino contemplates the day ahead	Kilimanjaro beckons

it's a pretty desolate place	Durham Uni students en route

en route to the lava tower	it's not easy walking

porters ahead	the lava tower in the distance

Kilimanjaro closer and more daunting	we are heading the the right direction

the lava tower in the distance	lava tower getting closer

lunch at the lava tower	lunch at the lava tower

the place was carwling with ravens and rats	KK at lava tower

Tom aat lava tower	leaving the lava tower

looking back at the tower	the group with tower

it was down hill to the next camp	can't remember it's name

it was tough down hill	finally Barranco camp

And so ended climb day 3. A tough 8+ hour day. The next day was 'short day to Karanga camp.
