The Kendal Mountain Search & Rescue Team has recently been issued with new hill clothing and there was a need to find a good home for the items of old kit which remained serviceable.
We contacted Everest mountaineer Doug Scott and he was delighted to re-cycle our garments through his charity Community Action Nepal. Doug was pleased with the kit and said that he would give it to their Sherpas and also to the teaching staff in their remote schools.
So if you see someone in Kendal MRT kit next time you are up Everest it’s not because we have got lost!
Nepal is a Kingdom of extremes - from near sea level to the summit of Mount Everest. This landscape though brings real difficulties and challenges for those living in remote and inaccessible mountain regions.
Community Action Nepal (CAN) helps to bring long term benefits to these resourceful and proud mountain people. CAN has established more than 50 community projects focusing on health, water and sanitation, schools, education and cultural development. http://www.canepal.org.uk/
