Kilimanjaro - Tales from the High Life by R. Binout Pdf
Think of Sir Edmund Hillary, Christopher Columbus, Neil Armstrong, Bear Grylls, Captain James T Kirk and that bloke from the SAS. Well, there's a new kid on the block...Kilimanjaro - Tales from the High Life is a strikingly candid and humorous account of determination in adversity for a complete novice who decides to step outside his comfort zone - arguably way too far outside - to experience a week like no other.Following 30 years of procrastination and 5 months of training and planning, R Binout embarked upon a trip to Tanzania for what turned out to be an adventure bursting with extreme experiences far beyond anything he'd ever encountered in the Shires of England: camaraderie, tears, illness, despair, glory, love, rejection, a nasty cut and so many laughs.Come along for the ride. Binout doesn't do dull. You'll certainly chuckle, maybe even shed a tear.Will this book: entertain; inspire; describe the finer points of 'long-drop' toilets, portray an exhilarating emotional excursion, go down as the greatest travel adventure ever written by someone with a stupid name; offer advice if you're considering conquering this 'big hill'; put a smile on your face; help you with an embarrassing rash in the groin region?Well, it might achieve some of the above. But don't take Binout's word for it; he's never fully recovered since returning - his rucksack is on but there's precious little inside it. Instead, here are a few words from family, acquaintances and loyal trip mates, whom he regards as lifelong friends:"If you're only ever going to read one book, make sure it's NOT this one." - Dougie"You complete ******!" - Cindy supermodel"5 stars! Equally as brilliant as my 2017 CD." - DIY 'Jungle' Nick"I'm never sharing a tent with you again. Ever!" - Matt"You said you were just popping out for some milk." - Mrs Binout"Loser!" - the blonde twins"Our first and definitely last book together!" - Editor
