Monkey Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 There is. Get yourself up Mont Blanc and K-2 prior to your climb. Avoid K-9 however. That's an oxygen thief at the best of times. I think climbing K-2 might be a wee bit excessive if you are training for an ascent of Kilimanjaro. Unfortunatly Buzz is right there is no real way of knowing if you are going to be affected by the altitude until you get to the mountains and start climbing. Whilst a climb up Mont Blanc may be useful climbing experience it will give no real indication of how you will react to the altitude, unless you fall ill climbing it in which case the Kili trip would be a no go. I know several climbers who have had no problems climbing in Europe but have fallen ill when in the higher altitudes of the Alps or South America. Best advice for altitude sickness is to ensure your trip leaders know what they are doing, drink lots of water when on the climb and ascend before you sleep. Climb an extra 200 odd meters from where you will be sleeping, hang about for 20 - 30 mins then descend back down to where you will be staying the night. Everyone I know who has climbed Kilimanjaro has loved it, so all the best. :thumbs: 2 Link to comment
The Boofon Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Star jump your way to fitness with this handy DVD from tup. It would be up there with Davina McCall's, or Beverley Callard's (you have to assume everyone buying hers aspires to look like a startled ginger giraffe) seminal workout discs. To be fair this climb isn't the challenge it's made out to be given the fact that Chris fat bastard Moyles managed it. Link to comment
buzz15afc Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 To be fair this climb isn't the challenge it's made out to be given the fact that Chris fat bastard Moyles managed it.we were speaking about that at work last night, apparently his fitness for that challenge was better than all the rest that did it with him..... ive read a few training guides and being able to run marathons etc is a completely different kind of fitness... i basically need to go out and walk... walk and climb hills for 6/7 days in a row so that im used to it... can see me walking from dundee to my mums in forfar alot over then next year... at least she'll have my tea on the table Link to comment

ollie1903 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 erm..... well in the last year i have lost about 3.5 stone, by changing my diet and going to the gym... i started playing football again after 10 years away after i hurt my knee.... i have a certain level of natural fitness, but not for climbing mountains... i know i will have no probs getting to that level as once i get my mind set on something i tend to get there... my one major fear for this is the altitude sickness as i dont know if i will suffer from it, and there is no way to train for it.... one thing that will def get me thro is all the donations that are being made... and ill prob be the first person to wear an aberdeen top at the summit :scarf: There is. Get yourself up Mont Blanc and K-2 prior to your climb. Avoid K-9 however. That's an oxygen thief at the best of times.Or just take a ride on Tups ego. Link to comment

I'd only fight Kelt if i could do it like last time and bring two mates along to help. Or I could fight Tup with one hand tied behind my back. Perhaps buzz could auction a date with her as a prize, Mini would be right in there! Link to comment

tup Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 You spelled Maeve incorrectly was the point I was making. You should, when slagging others, try and get your spelling house in order prior to hitting 'Add Reply' on your derogatory post. Please pop over to 'Tup's Corner' if you need any further clarification. Link to comment

tup Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 He did also consider 'the cottager' and 'ron davies mark II' as usernames before settling on 'daytripping'. Make of that what you will Link to comment
daytripping Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 And as your self-deprecating forum name might suggest, as well as your enthusiasm for football - a sport that should only be played by men - is it reasonable to assume that you are the more dominant, or butch, participant in your sexual liaisons? I would say I am the more dominant participant in my sexual liaisons although I wouldn't object to being dominated on occasion, within reason! My forum name means I like day trips, where are you getting the dominant stuff from? May I ask where this is leading? Link to comment
tup Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Much as I can appreciate good art, this does not mean that I am "in touch with my feminine side" or otherwise engaged in homosexuality. I don't read shite. Gillian McKeith does. There used to be a wifie who painted on canvas with her own shite in the notorious 'Oak Ridge' facility in flower power America. Link to comment
muttondressedaslamb Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yes I'm a lesbo of the butch variety. My friends think I look like KD Lang. I love her. Link to comment
