We have been pretty quiet for a while now. So here’s a bit of an update of whats going on. First off, funding. We have been writing lots of applications for funding for the trip and have been lucky to be awarded a few. So far we have funding from the John Muir Trust, the British Mountaineering Council, and the Mount Everest Foundation, and we are still waiting to hear back from more in the next couple of weeks. Second, partnerships. Going on a trip like this needs some specialist clothing and equipment. We have been lucky to get some technical clothing from Jöttnar and are looking forward to putting it to the test in Kyrgyzstan. For a good night sleep have been able to get hold of sleeping bags from PHDesigns which will keep us nice and toasty while camping out for three weeks. Lots still to sort out for the trip; climbing gear, tents, stoves and satphone are just some of the things we need to get hold of, so there’s plenty to be done before we get on our way in less than three months time.
