Day Three
We left at 8am and headed off into the Shira Plateau.

Day 3!
Hilariously Ash taught Gaston and Peter the lovely Scottish word 'minging'!
We were supposed to stop for a hot lunch on the way but our pace was good apparently so we went straight to Moir Camp and had lunch there. It's great that we have a good pace on the flat!!
We did quite a bit of singing as we went along today and we did the Hokey Cokey!! Day Three was definitely packed with funny moments!
We arrived at Moir Camp which is 4200m and had lunch and a wee rest and then headed off for our altitude acclimatisation or as it turned out took our guides to where there was phone signal! We went up 200m to the phone signal spot so we were at 4400m.

Lunch was our favourite of cucumber soup and dinner was tomato soup and spaghetti with veggie sauce. Its amazing how Coleman can produce such fab food on a mountain side.
When we came back from our acclimatisation walk the guides gave us a wee treat by singing to us and then when we arrived back at the camp all the porters sang to us and one of them got Lindsay up dancing, it was brilliant fun. Moir Camp has been my favourite camp so far - it is so much quieter than the others as most people go to Shira II Camp.
The lovely and quiet Moir Camp the Barranco Wall in the distance.
Today didn't feel hard at all, I really enjoyed it and no sign of altitude bothering me except the lactic acid burn lasts a bit longer and I could not hold my video arm up for very long.
Lindsay and Ash had mild headaches at at one point but we all seemed happy and healthy when we headed off to bed.
It's a full moon tonight and the stars are amazing.
We climb the Barranco Wall tomorrow and head up to Lava Tower which is 4600m.
We did 16.4km and the equivalent of 42 flights of stairs today.
