So..what we are actually going to do in Madagascar?
Well, hopefully raising a lot of money for WaterAid projects…and doing this by raising donations and sponsorship for us to attempt a 12 day trek through one of Madagascar’s national parks and climb Pic Boby*, the island’s second highest mountain.
This challenging trek will take us to remote Madagascar through canyons and gorges to bush-covered plains and dense forests, rocky ridges and the summit of the island’s highest accessible mountain peak.
This will be tough going and so we will be training a lot for this as the heat, altitude, rough roads and long distances will make this an arduous experience.
Once the trek is completed we will also go to visit projects that WaterAid has supported so you can see the work that your money will help.
Please, help us by donating and supporting WaterAid to spur us on to raise money for this this truly remarkable country. Help and follow us and we will post pictures of the stunning scenery and amazing wildlife whilst we are there too. Might even get some classic You Been Framed clips of us falling over on the way, with lemurs pointing and laughing in the background…got to be worth donating a tenner for that surely.

* The Boby bit in Pic Boby (or Peak Boby) is actually a dog’s name. The Frenchman who first summited the mountain in 1956 climbed it with his dog, Boby and named the mountain in the dog’s honour….the local’s apparently don’t like that a sacred mountain has been named after a dog.
