Nick is climbing Ben Nevis and Mount Kilimanjaro for Asthma UK.
BEN NEVIS
The Ben (1345m) is the highest mountain in the UK.
Ben Nevis was bagged on 5th May 2007. Many thanks to Nigel Stephenson, Sandy Leask, Stephen Singer (and Wallace) and Anne Fraser for participating in this event. All climbers reached the summit.
Photos of Ben Nevis and Kilimanjaro are available online by clicking the following link.
MOUNT KILIMANJARO
On 24th July Nick and Nigel are off to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. At 5895m (19340ft), Killy is the highest free standing mountain in the world, and the highest mountain in Africa. We are not doing this as part of an organised charity trek. We have completely funded this out of our own pockets, the travel, the outfitting and all our gear. We are going on the Lemosho(Shira)-Machame route over nine days.
If anyone could help with corporate sponsorship (gear, the travel or anything) for this it would be greatly appreciated as we are now skint!
UPDATE...KILIMANJARO SUMMITED AT 6.30AM on 7th AUGUST 2007

A DVD of our entire journey in Tanzania including Safari and Kilimanjaro are available to buy. Contact nick@nickbegg.com to place an order, price includes P&P in the UK. They are £5 each with £2.50 of each sale going to Asthma UK (I would post it on the web but it is way too big). The rest of the money will go into a fund to help pay for our next fundraiser, Mount Elbrus, Europest highest mountain.
We also have loads of Animal photos from Safari (pretty much what you see in the Safari Highlights Movie). If you would like a print, I can do these at £1 each + £1 P&P (does not matter how many you order). Again, half of these sales will go to Asthma UK.
All our photo's from Kilimanjaro and Safari are available on 2 DVDs. I can provide copies. Contact me if you are interested. However, if you buy a DVD it's got most of the good stuff on it.
Please contact nick@nickbegg.com if you can help us out in any way or indeed if we can help you if you are planning something similar.
