 The second day walk along clearly defined track is 10 km long and ends in Mackinder Camp at altitude 4,300 m (14,200  ft). This is a pleasant 6 hour walk across varying vegetation. After the first hour, rain forest ends and vegetation is dominated by short grass. In the last hour before Mackinder Camp the peak of Mt. Kenya can be seen, if the weather is clear. The second day walk along clearly defined track is 10 km long and ends in Mackinder Camp at altitude 4,300 m (14,200  ft).

Ten people held the position twice, and one brave fellow three times.  We also have had joint editors and acting editors.   This may be a bit of a swan song but it’s time the rogues gallery of editors saw the light of day.  The position of editor has been filled 41 times since June 1931.
