Help Request: loan of old kit for charity climb?

Postby Steve Swallow » Wed Aug 03, 2016 8:24 pm

Hi
Just wondering if anyone can help us? Our daughter Mary is doing a charity climb of Kilimanjaro (supporting Hope for Children) at the beginning of September and is starting to assemble her kit list. A couple things she needs that she doesn't want to buy (being a student) are a down sleeping and a down jacket for the summit. We don't have anything suitable but wondered if anyone out there might have old kit they no longer use that she could borrow? I think a jacket is the main priority (she should be able to hire a sleeping bag) and I suspect it would not get used much at all.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated :D

Thanks Steve & Fran

Also, if anyone felt like sponsoring her charity page is at the link below

I have a good quality duvet jacket which might fit your needs. Fits me so might be a bit big, though depends on numbers of layers underneath. It is waterproof as well!. Let me know and I can pop it round so you can take a view.

I've got a Rab ladies down jacket - I think it's the Neutrino - certainly good for v cold conditions! We're away from Monday climbing Mont Blanc (gulp!) so let me know if you need it before then and we'll sort something out! I'll send you a message on FB too in case you don't see this... Kirsty x
