Rinjani photos courtesy of Mr Jelly

Here are the photos from Mr Jelly, as per the last blog.  I once heard about finding a child's toy through trending on twitter?! It's a very long shot but I thought I might give it a try to see if we can get interest in finding the camera - or at least memory card. The blog has been read by over 800 people many in Indonesia so you never know...if anyone had any ideas how to do this then we would be really grateful! amanda@pownallassociates.co.uk

The entrance to the Country Park - where we started our ascent and also where Amie and Alex got their motor bikes


The gentle start of the ascent through the jungle - not gentle for long

Starting to get steeper up to base camp 1

The jungle - buttress roots and lianas!





breaking out of the jungle and starting to climb through the savannh - where we camped the first night

A porter with his bamboo pole and baskets steadily making his way up through the savannah



A rest point in the savannah


More savannah close to where we camped

The view from the crater rim as Amie and Alex first saw it. You can see the crater lake and the 'summit' the highest point of the rim  - you can also see the active volcano steaming away in the crater.

The active volcano




The view of the lake going down into the crater on day two.

The climb into the crater!!


 A porter warming their hands - it's freezing!









Porters making dinner


Sunset as we saw it from the crater rim in our tents
