25 brave adventurers are taking part in St. Margaret's 2017 Machu Picchu trek, and are being joined by an extra special guide: Peruvian native, Paddington Bear! 

Paddington popped into St. Margaret's shop in Langport in December where he met Ali Collier who is taking part in the trek, and he very kindly offered to be her guide.

Paddington has put together his passport and luggage (including his marmalade sandwiches) and is ready to set off with the trekkers to Peru on April 1st, leading them up to Machu Pichhu. The trekkers will also be working with Paddington on a local community project.

To show your support for Paddington and his fellow trekkers, please sponsor them by making a donation. Thank you!
