Charity trekker discovers Mount Kilimanjaro is no longer in Wales
Mount Kilimanjaro is not in Wales. Never has been.

It was a shock when we found out where it really was.”
In the Coventry Telegraph, which first published the story three days ago, Nicki (51!), says she’s doing the climb for the hospice that cared for her late sister.
