This week we were delighted to be awarded with a sizable grant from the Gino Watkins Memorial Fund 

This will finance the pulks which are on order. It continues to be a testing time as we search for any outstanding equipment. Boots are proving to be the main difficulty. This is something we are not scrimping on, and certainly won’t be recycled. An essential part of the kit, an expedition can easily fail due to foot problems.

Due to the exceptionally good winter (good if you like the cold!) Boots have been selling like hot cakes. So we are scratching around to find a couple of pairs of suitable Baffins.

Training and schools work continues. We are excited to announce a visit to St Mary Redcliffe School in Bristol. This trip is due to be filmed by the BBC, there may even be some more tire pulling!
