We have just had a manic few hours getting ready for a weekend away. We are climbing Japan's 17th highest peak tomorrow - Kisokoma 2956m. We will be hiking for around 8 hours and camping at the top and then coming down on Sunday. It is lashing rain everywhere in Japan tonight... I hope it stops by tomorrow. I think the worst part is that Justin is picking us up at 4.20am to drive up to Nagano and start by 7am!
Here are some photos that some other hikers took:

It looks amazing and if (IF!) it is clear, we will be able to see Mount Fuji. Imagine that! Fuji was a horrible walk, but I always like seeing it in the distance.
I am enjoying a quiet glass of wine while listening to nuevo tango. Very mellow after an hour or so running round the apartment wrapping things in plastic bags and shoving them into the backpacks. We are ready to go. My pack weighs 12 kilos, David's 15 as he has the tent. The heaviest thing is the water as we don't know whether we will be able to find any at the top. We might be using snow-melt to cook our noodles.....
