Story
Can we climb Mount Kilimanjaro in 24hrs?!
We are attempting a real challenge! Andy and I will be attempting to climb the height of Kilimanjaro (that’s 6000m!) in 24 hours. So that’s 1500 routes at the Matchworks Climbing Hangar, across 2 days- 6th and 7th April 2023.
Why are we doing this?
We are raising money for Marshside Primary School to put towards cost of books, swimming lessons, classroom resources, and other educational requirements that would enable the pupils to continue to thrive. Money previously allocated to these things is being spent on essentials such as heating and cleaning products, meaning no money for experiences and resources that all children deserve.
The team at Marshside is one of the most caring and dedicated bunch that you could wish to have looking after your children. Like all educators, they work tirelessly to support pupils and families, making sure that opportunities are not missed, even if it means using their own money to enable them.
The money that we raise will go directly to the school so they can buy essential resources and fund quality learning experiences.

2 years agoWith just under 2 weeks until the start of our challenge, we are almost half way to our target amount. Thanks for your support so far! We have been training quite a lot- 3 climbs a week, but this will slow down the closer we get to the date so we don’t overdo it. Our hands are holding up, not as many flappers, and we’ve only had a few pulls here and there. We are hoping to do some live streams on the days, but if you want to come down and have a coffee, tea, cake or even join us for a climb, we will be made up to see you! Jen and Andy x

2 years agoMore training today at Climbing Hangar, matchworks. Trying out climbing with gloves- they feel a bit strange but have helped protect my hands, mostly. I have still managed to get a flapper on my finger 🙈 We are managing around 60 climbs in 30 minute intervals, followed by 10 mins off. We are working on a plan for the days we climb to make sure we get to the target. Wish us luck 👍 Jen and Andy
