Packyourbags Travel Store based in Tunbridge Wells Kent, along with the Uniglobe Team, successfully summited the roof of Africa, Kilimanjaro. Mark Kempster quoted "nothing could prepare me for the altitude". The trip has raised over £31,000 for Plan International, Because I am a Girl. Mark Kempster, MD and Expedition Leader says, “We would like to extend our thanks and gratitude to everyone who supported us and donated. All monies raised went to the charity, everyone on the trip paid for themselves to do it. We had great moments and tough moments, it was gruelling and yet immensely rewarding. Some of the team really suffered with the altitude and one members did not quite make it to the top. We have put together a short film of our trip below so please take a look and once again thank you for your support!”
Some of the equipment used on the trek were Meindl Burma Pro boots, Meindl Matrei MFS boots and Source Widepac hydration bladders
