Sat waiting to check in at Nairobi airport for our flight to Abu Dhabi. We are due in London Heathrow at 7.30am and we will tweet when we are leaving on the coach to give arrival times back at Chew Valley. Just said goodbye to all of the Kenyans who have been working with us.

Three nights sleeping over 10,000ft with sub zero temperatures and a wonderful trek with a high point of just under 4,000m. The students were amazing with all who started finishing. We are so proud of them.
