The Challenge of a Lifetime
Red Dust But No Elephants The journey by Land Rover took us through the forest where the treetops were silhouetted against the bright blue sky and exotic flowers provided brilliant contrast to the green foliage. As we climbed higher the vehicle filled with dust covering us in a fine red layer. We walked through farmland, pine plantations and into the forest - evidence of elephants but sadly none to be seen. |
Moorland And Mawenzi Leaving behind the incredible panoramic views of Kilimanjaro's volcanic peaks we headed off across the moorland towards the crags of Mawenzi. |
Nightfall On Mawenzi .Climbing upwards the terrain changed from moorland to alpine desert - from soft greens through dusty yellow, ochre and terracotta to the pink and grey of the crags of Mawenzi. A full moon threw the crags into sharp relief against the most beautiful star-studded sky. |

The Lunar Desert A slow and relentless incline across the lunar desert. The air was becoming thinner and the task becoming harder. Although we had Kenya on the one side of the shoulder and Tanzania on the other I was closing in psychologically on the goal of Kibo. |
The Spirits of Kilimanjaro The singing of our guides and the full moon that hung over us lighting our path up the scree slope gave a spine-chilling feeling that there were other forces willing us on and encouraging us on our way to the top. |
Dusk To Dawn The rapidly changing colours of the night to the colours of the dawn penetrated the edges of awareness as we reached the top of the Roof of Africa. |

Marangu - The Coca Cola Route We had been numbed by the lack of oxygen and the cold and the full realisation of our achievement was still to fully dawn. Our rapid descent made it hard to believe that only a few hours before we had been standing on the top of one of the world's highest mountains. The colours on this side (South) of the mountain differed subtly from those on the north. |
Celebration Two The enormity of what we, as a group, had managed to achieve was finally dawning and boy, did we celebrate as the sun sank behind the mountain and left an orange after glow over the land. |
The Forest The interconnecting forest paths were busy with the womenfolk going about their daily tasks. The sun filtered through a thin layer of cloud casting soft shadows over the tracks. The bougainvillea climbed randomly through the trees and giant begonias hung over our heads. |
Other Works by Pat Archibald
Celtic Wheel Inspired by the theme 'Castings and Turnings' my piece depicts the invention of the wheel and as a result the early organisation of trade and industry in the Bronze Age. On the left hand side of the panel you can see the copper and tin being heated to form the alloy bronze which is then poured and cast to turn into beautiful never ending Celtic designs. For Sale |

| Acers In Autumn 72" x 63" This piece was inspired by my favourite tree, the Japanese Acer. The varieties of acer give a wonderful show of colour in the autumn ranging from yellow through gold, magenta to deepest burgundy. Diagonals of colour link the three pieces. The quilting pattern in the central panel was inspired by a sashiko design (Japanese country quilting) meaning strength and stability. |

Moon Over Mawenzi, Sun Over Kibo Moon Over Mawenzi was inspired by maps and aerial views of the mountain and shows the route taken from the north side of the mountain to Kibo and back down the Marangu. Foiling techniques were used to depict the blue triangles of our tents and the sun and moon. Cut and slash techniques show the gullies and streams. |

| The Endless Incline The Endless Incline is a collage of the lunar desert, the mountain range and our various campsites. The foreground was freely strip pieced with torn fabric and loose threads. |
From Addis to Kili : Dawn to Dusk Overall Champion Quilt, Scottish Quilting Championships 2002 (62" x 531/2") Initially a series of nine fabric sketches were made, each one depicting the overriding feelings and images of each day of the adventure to the top of Africa's highest free-standing mountain. From Addis to Killi: Dawn to Dusk pulls together ideas from the smaller pieces and depicts the inexplorable unrelenting pull of Kilimanjaro and the crossing of physical and psychological borders and boundaries that I didn't know was possible. |
