Our variation to Harenna forest

We did a slight variation of the official itineraire, descending down from the plateau to Harenna forest. 

I did not track exact coordinates of our camping, so the following is a rough split. 

Acclimatization

The Bale plateau is 4000 m high, so a good acclimatization is needed.
