Arran Mulanje Trig Point Challenge
Donation protected
In May 2015 I'm attempting to link all the Trig Points on Arran in one single unsupported push to raise money for the Arran and Mulanje Mountain Rescue Teams. Over the course of 4 days, I will walk 122 Km carrying all my gear and camping wild on route. Start date is scheduled for 21st May.
Both Arran (of which I'm a member) and Mulanje Mountain Rescue teams are volunteers who perform a life saving service in the mountains that they love. The Mulanje team in particular provide rescues in a challenging environment with very little personal equipment or funding support. In January 2015, they were involved with rescuing members of the public in catastrophic flooding that has left 200,000 people homeless. Money raised for both teams will be donated to help purchase essential equipment and help with training.
In July 2015 I am travelling to Malawi with students from Arran High School and hope to be able to hand over the Mulanje MRT share of the funds raised, while we are there. I'm raising funds on this site, rather than through a charity fundraising site, as the Mulanje Team are not a recognised UK charity, but they are affiliated to the Mulanje Guides and Porters Association.
