Climbing 1344 metres

Basically what are we doing?

Hi! We are Xinxin and Di studying in Durham University, UK. We have been trying extra hard to raise money for Project Sri Lanka - a project aiming to help tsunami devastated communities in Southern Sri Lanka.

For the benefit of raising £3000 and lots of good-will for continuing this long-term humanitarian project, we are going to climb Britain's highest mountain Ben Nevis. Yes it's a challenge to both of us - foreign country, unfamiliar long route and 8-10 hours' mountainwalk. PLUS, we are going to pick up all rubbish we catch sight of on our way down.

Dates and amount: a plan

Here's the plan (Time zone: GMT+00):

• May 11: Blog published, collection starts
• Midnight, June 21: Collection ends
• 09:07am June 23: Head to Fort Williams, stay at Glen Nevis
• 06:00am June 24: Start climbing 1344-metre Ben Nevis

We are aiming at £1344 to guarantee action - which is £1 per metre height we climb. However, when it exceeds £1344, we add new challenges for each £100 raised until it reaches £2344. This will be explain in upcoming blog posts. I have a new challenge to tell you>>>
