Story
***UPDATE: 26 Nov - We've successfully completed our Annapurna trek! It was an amazing experience. We got a little breathy at altitude but the views were spectacular. Our photos are here. You can learn more about our experience here in Fay's blog.***
At the start of November, Peter, Fay and our friends Meg and Liam, are trekking Nepal's Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary to raise money for the British charity MAG (Mines Advisory Group - www.maginternational.org). Having travelled in Laos and Cambodia where landmines are still a terrible reality, we believe strongly in the importance of MAG's work. We are undertaking this challenging, 21 day Himalayan trek independently - That means no group and no guide. It's at high altitude and will be a real test of endurance. The highest point, Thorung La Pass is 5,416m (17,769ft). We are of course funding the "expedition" ourselves, so all money raised will go to the charity MAG. For more info on the trek have a look at: www.yetizone.com/annapurna_map.htm
Now the technical bit: Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor us: The Mines Advisory Group gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Any donations are greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
