We're on top of the world

GARY BARLOW wept as he finally reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

It had taken seven months’ planning but Gary and the eight other celebs conquered the 19,330ft peak and raised almost £1.5million for Comic Relief.

He said: “The challenge was totally underestimated by every one of us. The climb was the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I never want to see a tent or a sleeping bag again! To be told each day the amount we had raised kept our spirits up. So thank you so much to the beautiful British public for being so generous.”

Day Seven - Gary Barlow and Ronan Keating

Gary: "This has been an amazing trip for a number of reasons. First and foremost, the climbers - each successful in their own right, not trying to revive a fading career and totally up for coming out of their comfort zone for a monumental charity event. Second, to hear the totals everyday has kept our spirits up so thank you so much to the beautiful British public for being so generous. Lastly, the challenge, totally underestimated by every one of us, this climb was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life - I never want to see a tent or a sleeping bag ever again! The summit was a massive high but the previous eight days have been down right miserable, cold and lonely. Thank goodness we're gonna change, and hopefully save, lives with our efforts."

Gary Barlow's Climb Diary Day six

"WAKE-up call was at 6am but all my sickness and worries had gone. Today was a big day and all we had to do was make it through the seven hours to High Camp – then we’d be nearly at the summit.

On the walk we split up more than before, all going at our own speed. Halfway along we all dialled in to CHRIS MOYLES’s show and heard messages from our families.

It was very emotional but just the kind of support needed to get us through the final night.

For the first time on the ascent we saw other climbers and had our pictures taken with them. It was weird and reminded us of who we are when we’re not on this mountain. They also gave us advice for the summit.

Arrived at camp at 3pm with DENISE VAN OUTEN and ALESHA DIXON. We’d had a good laugh on the way up. Early dinner tonight with a final briefing from our guide about what’s in store for us the following day. It’s 6pm and I’m off to bed. Our wake-up call is at midnight and we set off for the summit at 1am.

Back’s been great today, getting better by the day."

Day 3.

Of The BT Red Nose Climb: The group witness the effects of altitude sickness on Ronan’s 32nd Birthday

Comic Relief’s celebrity climbers surprised Ronan Keating on the morning of his 32nd birthday by rousing him from his tent with a birthday singsong, balloons and cards from his family and friends.

Later on Ronan was in for more birthday treats when the group set up camp in the clouds and presented him with a huge birthday cake. An embarrassed Ronan joked “Girls Aloud, Gary Barlow, Alesha Dixon – all these big mega stars singing Happy Birthday to me, it was really special, really great”.

Gary Barlow was forced to wait behind during the optional acclimatisation walk due to his back pain which is still causing the group concern. Gary said "I woke up with bad back this morning. The rest of the guys did a big acclimatisation climb, but I gave my back a rest and went with a guide on my own for a lonely 4 hour trek. It was the right thing to do though - I'm feeling better tonight - big day tomorrow."

With money raised through this extraordinary event, Comic Relief will be able to provide mosquito nets in Africa that can help prevent potentially fatal bites that cause malaria, as well as helping extremely vulnerable, poor and disadvantaged people here in the UK.

Gary's diary of the trek:
Día 2

"THIS has been a long day of walking – seven hours in total and I think we all have aching legs – most of us are walking with two poles because the terrain is so steep and rocky.
The girls tend to lead and us boys follow up behind – I slow them down because my back is probably a three out of ten.
But everyone is brilliant – especially the guides – and all the girls keep offering to take my day pack from me, bless them.
We were all making each other laugh as we walked by replicating the sounds we make on the BT Speaking Clock and adding new ones – both artificial and natural (we had beans last night).
The scenery is spectacular – we walked across one of the biggest ridges, the remnants of an old volcano crater.
We are at about 11,500ft now and you can really tell that the air is getting thinner and the temperature is colder.
There have been a few headaches but we are spurred on by photos Denise Van Outen and Fearne Cotton have of children they met who are dying from malaria.
The end of the walk was in rain so we all reached camp tired and wet.
Then, just as we were getting ready to collapse in the mess tent, the clouds parted and we had the most beautiful view of the summit for the first time."

Día 1

"WAKE up at 5am for a hearty breakfast of porridge and eggs on toast before setting off into the rainforest for the first leg of the trek.
It’s very steep and I’m having to use two poles for my back – but I’m told it will loosen up after the first day’s climb.
We saw some colobus monkeys but we had to be careful to avoid ant nests.
Tucked into a packed lunch of sandwich, chocolate bar, banana, carrot sticks, boiled egg and a tropical fruit drink.
We only walked for four hours today because of the intense heat and steep incline.
Set up camp for the night at the Big Tree Camp at 9,000ft.
Dinner is hot soup to rehydrate, pasta for carbohydrates and lots of drinks.
Soon it will be time to retire to my tent for my first night of kip on Kilimanjaro.
I’ll have more updates for you tomorrow."

84

84 was a pretty good year
I lost my heart back then in 1984
Was a pretty good year
I lost my heart to 1984

It was 1984 and I was nearly 16 years
Oh Thatcher was the minister in charge
Oh the miners were on strike
And my Dad had gone away
And the Swiss were riding high up in the charts
It was there on Gordod Road
While I was waiting in the cold
For my mate when you came along
And heaven knows that it was like a heart attack
That year when you said to me

If you give a little bit more
Just a little bit more
You'll get a little bit more
If you try a little bit harder
Just a little bit harder
Then you'll get it for sure
You'll get it for sure

I was nervous, I was sweating
Seemed like she was on a mission
When she took me by the hand up to her room
There were posters on her wall
I saw flowers in her hair
But I never got the chance to see them bloom

'Cause the clock stopped
And the years rolled by
But the time never left my mind
When she said

If you give a little bit more
Just a little bit more
You'll get a little bit more
If you try a little bit harder
Just a little bit harder
Then you'll get it for sure
You'll get it for sure

Twenty-four years later
And we're in the hands of labour
And we've got ten thousand troops out in Iraq
I am living now in London
And at present I am single
And it took my Dad a long time to come back

84 was apretty good year
I lost my heart back then in 1984
Was a pretty good year
I lost my heart to 1984


If you give a little bit more
Just a little bit more
You'll get a little bit more
If you try a little bit harder
Just a little bit harder
Then you'll get it for sure
You'll get it for sure
