1 week to go – the storms and heat are here anyway!


One week to go and most of the hard work preparing is done. The temperature has gone up in the last few days and we have some summer storms - this will probably be similar to the weather in The Gambia - so get used to it Any more money around…

Preparing for Gambia Series

Top 5 Kit Tips

Participants Weekend


It was precisely 19 days until we left, so it was rather important that everyone knew exactly what was going to happen and what had been going on thus far. So, we had our final chance to all meet together, in a camp of various excesses. On one hand an…

Barn Dance Article


What a better way to bring our group fundraising to a close, than with a barn dance in an actual Barn! With over 70 guests we managed to pull off a fun and memorable final evening, just over a month until the trip itself. As usual, mostly the majority of…

4 weeks – it all about the money!


26 days to go today and we can nearly forget the fundraising and move onto focusing onto the expedition itself! Only nearly though - I have been to the bank twice this week to make about 10 different deposits. We made £650 profit on the Barn Dance which although was…

7 weeks kinda – another late blog!


No excuse for this one to be late but I have been trying to get a few other things sorted out. From Hornchurch's point of view we have now raised about £13200 out of our fundraising target of £16000, but our grant total so far is only £1600 out of…

A shout out for our individual fundraisers


There is no way to deny that all of our group fundraisers have been a rip-roaring success so far. However, because of the consistently high levels of effort and commitment from almost every single participant of the trip, it has been easy to miss the ones who have had their…

8 weeks -ish!


Sorry been away a few days so missed the 8 week deadline. And also managed to miss the fantastic sounding Dog Show event - if we get the matched funding we should raise £2300 - an absolutely brilliant amount - many thanks to Susie and Jen for sorting again -…
