We're going to be burning a serious amount of calories during the three weeks we spend exploring the peaks of the Djenghi-Djer, and what better way to replace some of those calories than with chocolate! But we didn't just want any old chocolate. We wanted proper chocolate. Real chocolate. Chocolate from a company that really cares about its products. And The Raw Chocolate Company have been kind enough to provide us with just that. In less than three weeks time our mid-climb treats will be a selection of raw chocolate coated fruits, nuts and ginger. And being Fairtrade, Organic and Vegan it's going to make us feel pretty fantastic too.
We can't wait to get out to Kyrgyzstan now when we can crack open those boxes. They've had to remain securely closed for now otherwise they would probably never even make it onto the plane! Thanks again to The Raw Chocolate Company!

When going on a four week expedition to a remote country one of the most important factors in our success is our food. With roughly three weeks planned at base camp to be spent climbing and exploring the area, six people are going to get through a lot of grub! We plan to buy most of the basics when we get to Bishkek, but when we don't know exactly what we are going to find out there we need to take some food out with us that we know is nutritionally balanced and will give us the energy we need to keep on climbing. This is where Wild Trail come in. The snack bar company, who are based in Wales, are very kindly packing us off with a selection of their tasty bars, which, with their balance of carbs, protein and healthy fats, will be just what we need to keep us going while exploring the peaks of the Djenghi-Djer. We can't wait to get out to Kyrgyzstan and get munching on them now!
Thanks Wild Trail! "At Wild Trail, we make our delicious fruit and nut bars from just five simple and natural ingredients that are nutritionally balanced to give you SIMPLE. OUTDOOR. ENERGY. As part of Brighter Foods, we make all our bars in Tywyn, Wales, and every bar is gluten and dairy free, no added sugar, high in fibre and vegetarian/vegan. What inspired us to create our tasty bars? Our own wild trail of course. Looking out from our factory is Snowdonia’s Craig yr Aderyn (Bird Rock). Four generations of our family have grown up here and our love of the great outdoors can be tasted in every bite. That’s why we make snacks that encourage you to get outside, get active and enjoy your own Wild Trail… whatever or wherever that may be." With exactly four weeks to go until we will be jetting off to Kyrgyzstan the support from companies is now coming in thick and fast. We don't want to reveal all just yet, so for now we are very happy to announce that we are being supported by DMM Climbing. The lovely Wales-based company have very kindly sent us six bomber 100l Void duffel bags, which will be invaluable in transporting all our precious kit out to the mountains. And if Connor is able to fit inside, we're sure they will stand up to the task just perfectly! We have also managed to acquire a small list of food companies who are sending us out with some tasty grub to keep us all going, so watch this space for more announcements...
But for now, it's many thanks to DMM Climbing!! |
