Despite the rain out in Uganda the preparations for the trip are steaming ahead.
Not that a little rain and occasional thunderbolt will put the guys off the task in hand
A weather update from Uganda ahead of the Kili team's arrival - big, big thunderstorms are brewing! Oh dear.
The Kili climbers trip to Uganda to see the difference their efforts can make is a matter of days away now
Unfortunately Ronan can no longer make it because of the memorial concert being held for Steven Gately at the end of the month.
Ben, Chris, Fearne, Gary and Kimberley will be reunited very soon though and you can follow what happens as it happens right here
The concert has a fantastic line up and everyone here wishes Ronan all the very best for what promises to be a very special night.
It promises to be an emotional trip - feel free to RT to anyone who would like tweet sized news updates live from Uganda.
