Thank you so much everyone we have more than hit our target - with the extra we will have raised we intend to buy a couple more harnesses and helmets and also another rope. Feel free still to give - as at the moment we are buying the minimum we need. Any money raised on top of the £1200 will still go towards this project to buy a few more bits of equipment.

Okay, so as many of you know I am a bit of an outdoor freak and love anything that involves climbing, mountain biking, or anything that might turn normal people away! Well anyway, I have been given permission to start setting up a new activity project for the youth and children in the restoration houses for Bernabe. This will involve taking a group of young people climbing once a week.

The problem being is that as this is a brand spanking new project for them there is no equipment here, apart from my own personal climbing gear, which is unsuitable for what we will be doing. This means that we need to buy all the gear, which is very hard to get out here as there are few places that stock (I know of one shop in La Paz, which is very expensive and has limited stock), and so we are looking at getting all the gear bought in the UK and shipped out here.

We have managed to acquire a quote from Needle Sports in the Lake District who have given us a quote for £1200 for all the equipment - a discount of nearly 50% on the retail price of everything from our original quote. We would like to purcahse the equipment as soon as possible as gear prices are rocketing at the moment in the UK, so the quote will not be valid for that long. We are getting all the equipment delivered to the UK and then I will bring it out here when I next return to the UK to save money on shipping costs.

The money is being collated via Latin Link as I am out here with Latin Link.
