The Strolling Stevedores

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!
