Duo 003. Victoria & George. 🇳🇵

Happy Mother's Day to the mums taking it to 4,920m. 🏔️

George's done Kilimanjaro. Victoria's done her research. This November, they're taking on Nepal together - trekking to Tilicho Lake with The Live Crew's Sonic Adventure, raising funds to complete the Girls' Learning Centre in Devchuli.

The best part? Victoria says it best: "Being at the top, knowing we achieved the challenge together." George? "Sharing something unforgettable."

The worst part: George is already preparing for the snack negotiations. And somewhere between the high-altitude villages, the music, and the mountains, there'll probably be a very spirited debate about whose idea this was.

Worth it for the stories, though. Every time. 🏔️

Duo 002. Ann & Joe. 🇳🇵

Some kids send flowers. Joe's taking his mum to the Himalayas.

After 32 years of showing up for Joe, Ann is finally coming along for the ride.

This November, they're trekking to 4,920m together - raising funds to complete the Girls' Learning Centre in Devchuli, Nepal.

Joe on his mum: "Resilient, inspirational & 'just mum'."

The worst part of doing this together? Joe's already bracing himself for his mum being stronger, funnier, and generally cooler than him on the mountain.

We'll see, Joe. We'll see. 🏔️

Duo 001. Abigail & Flo. 🇳🇵

When Flo sent her mum the link to the trek, she was asking for an opinion - not extending an invite. Abigail didn't get the memo, and honestly? We're glad she didn't.

This November, they're joining 13 others on The Live Crew's Sonic Adventure in Nepal - trekking to 4,920m as part of a 15-strong crew raising funds to complete the Girls' Learning Centre in Devchuli.

Flo on why she said yes together: "I have also now reached an age where I realised my mum is actually quite cool and not just embarrassing, which helps."

Some things are better with your crew. Turns out that includes your mum. 🏔️

Happy Mother's Day to every single one of you. This one’s for the mothers who don’t just cheer from the sidelines - they show up, lace up, and go all in.

The Live Crew family is full of these incredible women - and three of them are about to do something their kids will never forget...

This November, three mother-and-child duos are joining the Nepal crew for A Sonic Adventure in Nepal - trekking to one of the highest glacial lakes on Earth, raising funds to complete the Girls’ Learning Centre in Devchuli, and doing it all together.

Abigail & Flo. Ann & Joe. Victoria & George.

Three pairs. One Himalayan adventure.

Countless reasons why.

Today, we’re spotlighting each duo in the lead-up to November — celebrating Mother’s Day and starting to introduce the crew who’ll be making the trek. Stay close.

We said we'd do it again.

Next November, 15 TLC warriors are heading to the Himalayas for A Sonic Adventure in Nepal - a once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most breathtaking terrain on Earth.

We're trekking to Tilicho Lake - one of the highest glacial lakes on the planet at 4,920m - where, under the light of a Himalayan full moon, we'll host the world's highest full moon party. A powerful fusion of music, nature, and intention.

Some of us have already been to the roof of Africa and back. Some are doing something like this for the very first time. All of us are going for something bigger than the summit.

We're raising £20,000 to complete the Girls' Learning Centre (GLC) in Devchuli, Nepal - the culmination of seven years of the Girls' Empowerment Programme (GEP). Since 2018, GEP has grown from supporting 40 girls to reaching more than 27,000 young women across the country - providing education, counselling, and vocational training to those at risk of trafficking, early marriage, and abuse, and to those simply seeking independence, opportunity, and a brighter future.

Every penny raised helps complete this vital next chapter. Every step counts.

DAY SEVEN // KILIMANJARO

Millennium Camp → Mweka Gate | 10km | Downhill

After yesterday’s summit, spirits were sky-high as we laced up for the final leg - heading down and dreaming of a cold Kilimanjaro beer.

The first couple of hours were steep, rocky, and winding. Our legs and feet reminded us just how much they’d been through. Four hours of downhill felt surprisingly tough.

But the landscape shifted again - from high alpine to lush Montane forest. The jungle welcomed us back with open arms, and the change was a sharp reminder of how quickly the mountain’s moods can shift.

We faced plenty of challenges on this trip—personal and shared - but every single one of us showed up and gave it everything.

We did it. We conquered Africa’s highest peak.

DAY SIX // KILIMANJARO

Barafu → Uhuru Peak → Millennium Camp | 16km | +1222m | 15hrs

Summit day. Midnight start. -18°C.

We woke at 11pm, layered up, switched on head torches, and began the slow crawl up the mountain. One hour at a time. Short breaks. Frozen water. Frozen fingers.

By 5400m, the silence said it all. No one complained - it was too hard to speak. Some battled the cold, others the exhaustion. Every step was a fight.

At 5:45am, we saw the first light crack the horizon. It lifted everyone. By 6:00, we hit Stella Point—the false summit. A few kept walking. A few cried. Everyone hurt.

But at 5895m, the real thing: Uhuru Peak. The roof of Africa. The sunrise. The tears. The joy. We made it. Every single one of us.

After 30 surreal minutes up top, we descended, scattered, numb and proud. Back to Barafu. Rest. Food. Then on to Millennium Camp for our final night.

One more day to go.

DAY FIVE // KILIMANJARO

Karanga Camp → Barafu Camp | 5km | +600m | Max alt. 4673m

Today was all about what’s coming.

We left Karanga Camp just after sunrise for a slow, steady walk to Barafu—our final base before the summit push. The shortest hike of the trip, but one of the most important. Every step brought us closer to 4673m and 12 hours of precious rest before we set off again. At midnight.

The landscape by now was stripped back—bare rock, thin air, and silence. The mountain felt bigger and closer than ever.

We had an early meal, a final summit briefing, and a long stretch of downtime to rest, re-pack, and mentally prepare. Nerves were setting in. Everyone felt it—quiet conversations, some deep breaths, a few blank stares across the camp.

It’s a strange mix: excitement, fear, and a deep sense of purpose. After five days of walking, eating soup, climbing through everything from jungle to desert, we were finally ready.

Next stop: the summit.

The big one - Day Six - is up next.

DAY FOUR // KILIMANJARO

Barranco Camp → Karanga Camp | 10km | +773m | Max alt. 4200m

By Day Four, we were starting to feel it: not just the altitude, but the rhythm. Slow steps. Steady breath. Sip water. Eat something. Repeat.

The day kicked off with one of the most iconic (and intimidating) sections of the entire trek—the Barranco Wall. Roughly 300 vertical metres of rock-scrambling, with steep drop-offs and just enough space to keep you honest. For those not keen on heights, it was a test. For everyone else, it was a jaw-dropper. We climbed it together, step by step, and the view from the top made the nerves worth it.

Headaches from the last few days had eased. Morale was up. And for the first time in a while, it felt like we were having fun on the mountain - not just surviving it.

We reached Karanga Camp by midday, giving us a full afternoon to rest, hydrate, and keep acclimatising. It wasn’t a long day in terms of distance, but it was a turning point. Bodies were adapting. Minds were sharper. We were getting closer.

Day Five on the way.

DAY THREE // KILIMANJARO

Shira Camp → Lava Tower (4600m) → Barranco Camp (3900m) | 10km | +850m (up & down)

By Day Three, reality was setting in. The food situation? Repetitive. Porridge and sweet bread for breakfast. Soup on soup for every other meal. No one’s here for a tasting menu, but let’s just say no one was asking for seconds either.

Add a few sleepless nights to the mix and we knew this day would be a tough one - mentally and physically. While the start and end points don’t look dramatic on paper, the route took us way up to 4600m before dropping us back down again. It’s all part of the plan: climb high, sleep low. Good for acclimatisation. Terrible for headaches.

As we climbed into the barren upper moorland, the air thinned and the silence thickened. Not much vegetation, just endless trail and space to think. We passed the time with music - volume up, lungs wheezing through off-key singalongs. Oxygen optional.

Coming down towards Barranco Camp, the landscape softened. We passed strange, towering plants with cottony blooms - like something out of a dream. And then, as we reached camp, that dream became real. A sunset so still and surreal it shut everyone up.

Yes, the headaches were brutal. Yes, we’re all craving something other than soup. But Barranco Camp was a beauty. And we were still moving forward.

Day Four coming soon.

08/03/2026

DAY TWO // KILIMANJARO

Machame Camp → Shira Camp | 6km | +915m

Day Two took us higher - and it felt like it.

We set off from Machame Camp and hit a steep, rocky ridge straight out the gate. Within the first hour, we’d climbed out of the Montane forest and into open moorland. The trees thinned, the air got cooler, and the views opened up in every direction. That moment breaking above the tree line hit differently—like the mountain was finally letting us see what we were really in for.

As the altitude crept past 3500m, so did the breathlessness. A few of us had light-headed spells and wobbly legs during a tricky traverse, but we took it slow - pole pole, as they say here. There are no easy rescues on this mountain.

Just ten minutes before camp, we were met with the kind of reward only Kilimanjaro can offer: a crystal-clear stream and a waterfall right on the path. Cold, fresh, unreal.

We reached Shira Camp after five hours of steady climbing. Spirits were still high, but so were the headaches. Altitude sickness started to show itself - not dramatic, but enough to make lying down uncomfortable and sleeping near impossible for a few of us.

The mountain’s starting to test us.

More soon from Day Three.
