WE DID IT! Despite untypical and very adverse weather conditions (72 hours of almost non-stop rain, wind, hail and even snow) we managed to complete our trek along the Inca Trail and finally arrived wet, triumphant and breathless at the Sun Gate of Machu Pichu at around 3pm on Wednesday 15th September. At this point we also heard that England had won the Ashes. We have been celebrating both these events with the help of Pisco Sours ever since.
You can still sponsor us if you wish to using this website.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most financially efficient way to sponsor us: Christian Aid will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. However, you cannot use this if you wish to donate through CAF and will have to send us a CAF cheque.
Thanks to everyone who has sponsored us - we are amazed and delighted to have raised so much money for such a good cause. We also want to thank our all important home support teams led by Peter and Mark (who are both deeply relieved that they hadn't come with us).
We are never going camping again......
with much love from us both
