Jan/Feb Updates

Things are all getting rather exciting here at Gibbins/Kili HQ.

With only 3 weeks till we get on a place and go climb Kilimanjaro we have upped the training, the fundraising and are on one last push.




We have started doing a few good walks on Dartmoor in the past 3-4 weeks and so far have ticked off:

• Cox and staples tors
• Vixen pugh,feather tors
• Sheepstor
• Cuckoo rocks
• Broadown
• Huccaby
• Bellever

On the funding note we have had a few notable recent donations. This is on top of the support we have rolling into our just giving page all the time which you can find here: http://www.justgiving.com/BlindSummit2011

£70 from the Afton Hotel in Eastbourne http://www.aftonhotel.co.uk/
£50 from local friends and family in Tavistock

We have also had some great publicity in the last week in the form of story's in all the local papers.



Tavistock times, Evening Herald and the Western Morning News all ran story's on our trek which was great.

See the article here: http://www.thisisplymouth.co.uk/news/Son-helps-blind-father-bid-conquer-Mount-Kilimanjaro/article-3156667-detail/article.html

Anyway another update will be coming shortly ( before we go at least ) and keep the incredibly generous support coming in. Its going to be the trip of a lifetime for both of us.

Thanks Tim and Jacob
