If i can raise enough my 18 year old will come with us, so that would be an extra boy, but £7,000 is a lot to get, so not sure whether to get him some boots just in case.....

Yvette and Susie..... you best get your begging hats on then!! LOL!! But Susie is right..... get the 1st £3500 first and then make the decision as I know how hard it is to gain that amount of sponsorship and I would only promise Gaynor it in small increments!! :O)

Oh yes while I remember I have got a deal with Berghaus at the mo' that any equipment needed for the trek can be purchased through me and it will be half price but with VAT subject to availability that was the best they could do but I still have to clarify it with Caroline Moses PR co ordinator as she said they could not offer sponsorship!! any others interested check out there website and let me know so I can grovel to her more!!
