My story
We are a group of six stevedores ( Ian Gow , Gary Newson, Nick Lord, Trevor Cable, Mel Jacobs, John Mundy.) who work at the Port of Felixstowe. We are travelling to Tanzania on 23rd January 2012 to attempt to climb to Uhuru peak at the top of Mt Kilimanjaro. At a height of 5895 metres (19340 ft) it is the highest mountain in Africa. We will be taking the Rongai route on a trek which will last 7 days, we hope to reach the summit on the 6th day. Temperatures will range from 30° at the start to possibly -25° at the summit. We are raising money for St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich which is a local independent charity. The trip has been totally self financed and all money raised will go directly to the hospice. Thanks for any sponsorship through this website and also to those who have sponsored us on our sponsorship forms. Every penny really does count!
On the 31st January 2012 at 07.20 all six of The Strolling Stevedores made it to Uhuru Peak, the top of Mt Kilimanjaro. The weather at the summit was cold, about -10 with 50 mph winds. Thanks again for all donations, The Strolling Stevedores.
Thanks again to all who have donated, we are all very gratefull and pleased to have raised such a substantial amount. There will be a "retiement party" for The Strolling Stevedores on 16th May 2012 at the Trimley Sports and Social club. No tickets are required and all are welcome to attend. Counterfeit, a local band will be playing on the night. The club and the band have donated their time and efforts free of charge. Hope to see as many of you as possible.
