Well I'm back from my Lares Trek to Machu Picchu Aug 2011 inc Huayna Picchu :)
What a fantastic trip! Everything I'd hoped and then some... Loads of fantastic breathtaking views, lots of challenging walks at altitude with a great group of like minded people :) Machu Picchu and Huayna Picchu were the icing on the very tasty "cake" following a week of frost covered camp sites. My faourite moment was seeing the Condor flying!!! and to be able to Video it too!!!
p.s. Whilst dying my hair purple was a novel way to get talking to complete strangers ... it didn't prove a great fundraiser sadly
I have set up a JustTextGiving by Vodafone account too, so it's even easier to help me support this great cause. Sponsor me by texting AIZV86 £(your chosen amount) to 70070 Texts are free, you get the opportunity to add Gift Aid and Iain Rennie get 100% of all donations - I've tried it out and used up my "free credit" on my mobile this month rather than lose it :)
As with last years challenge we have self-funded my trip. Basically any and all funds raised go to IRHH - you will not therefore be funding my "holiday".
I shall as previously continue to post updates on http://www.eatonbray.com/forums/general/irhh-trek-to-machu-picchu-aug-2011/ and in the local Focus magazine
Iain Rennie Hospice at Home (Reg.No. 297847) gave my lovely Dad the much needed practical, nursing and emotional support he and all the family found invaluable in the last few weeks of his illness in 2006.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Iain Rennie Hospice At Home gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
