My weekend trip up to Durness and the far North was cancelled late Friday when I had a sudden kidney stone ! (NHS24 actually worked very well ! ) BUT the weekend trip was off!
So I have spent an hour this afternoon putting some pics of my recent Kilimanjaro trip ( plus some from Dartmoor) on Fotopic.
Great pictures - bought back memories as I did Kili in '96.
My own photographty was not as succesful as yours as the temperature on the summit affected the battery in the camera and I managed only one picture before the camera packed up!
Thanks for letting us see them.

Thanks, I have just flirted with digital photography and not yet mastered the art of enhancing the results so there are clearly some issues with colour, contrast etc that I am sure others could improve on. The pics are really just for my own enjoyment and sadly most of my winter ones are on film so I cannot share them here. Maybe this coming winter I will get some on the site
Cheers Graham

Great stuff Graham - Mawenzi over the crater rim is just fantastic!
Hope your kidney won't trouble you for too long!
Hi Rudi yeah, the pic of Mawenzi came out well and resides as my wallpaper on the laptop, well pleased with the result ! all seems quiet with the stone so far so I hope I may have passed it ok. Going for an x-ray tomorrow to check ! Hoping to get out this Saturday to kind of make up for the "lost"weekend

That reminds me - how's Paula's nose? I can't imagine how painful that must have been. Yeoooowww.
Hi Fran, Paula's nose was seemingly more dramatic than it felt. She liberally applied "witch doctor" gel and natural Aloe Vera straight from the plant in the hotel gardens and the blackened dead skin fell away in a few days without any permanent damage. Her doctor advised not to expose to strong sun for about 12 months to prevent further damage so she is coming to Scotland this summer for her holiday instead of her usual hot spot !

Phew! It looks absolutely horrific.

Ooh, lucky, lucky Paula - she can get midged instead of sunburnt!

Thanks for asking and I will pass it on to Paula
cheers graham
Yes well done Graham, and I'm glad Fran asked the question I was a bit worried about the blackened nose.

They tell me this can be a painful experience and I think you would have known if you had passed the stone. Have you had it bombarded with ultrasound? -- Bill Grey http://www.billboy.co.uk

Had an X-ray at the end of that week which confirmed stone had gone. GP is a personal friend and said that it could have been passed in the first 48 hours as I was getting some pain but drinking so much it just have flushed through. All well now though so thanks for asking
