fundraising update

Well, i'm over a tenth of the way to the fundraising target !!! Big thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far. I must extend some thanks to Julia and Nicki who suggested some kind of preparatory training might be in order.......on reflection, i think this might be a good call. A thermos flask arrived for me today which i thought would be pretty lush on the windswept, fog bound mountain scree of the Pyrenees but at 1050grams it's surely going to be a luxury too far and sadly might not make the final packing cut......is it possible to helium line backpacks????
