About Machu Picchu

The Inca Trail heading to Machu Picchu (one of the new 7 wonders of the world) is an extreme challenge that will require a 45km hike over 4 days of through mountains in the Andes at high altitudes. We will also be visiting a local school supported by the Charity Challenge. I will need to spend over 6 months training before the challenge to get my fitness up to the level required for this extremely tough hike.

Why?

I have always wanted to do the Inca Trail however have never been fit enough to do it, however after losing over 10 stone since May 07. I am at my fittest I’ve ever been and this challenge will push me to lose that last bit of weight and at the same time raise money for a charity that helps everybody around the world no matter their region, race, wealth or political views. You never know where the next natural disaster might happen and who will be affected.

What's in a ShelterBox?

Each ShelterBox normally holds a 10-person tent and a range of other equipment, such as:

• Thermal blankets, insulated ground sheets
• Insecticide treated mosquito nets

• A wood burning stove, or a multi-fuel stove

• Cooking pans, utensils, bowls and mugs

• Collapsible water containers and water purification tablets

• Basic tool kit –hammer, axe, saw, pliers, hoe head, etc

• A small, children’s pack etc.

Each box is 23.7” (570mm) wide by 33.2” (842mm) long by 22.4” (602mm) deep – giving a capacity of 40.7gallons (185 litres). Fully packed, a box generally weighs between 110lbs and 130lbs (50 to 60kg).

All equipment is new and selected for durability, practicality and suitability for where it is needed. Tough, lightweight and waterproof, the box itself can also have many useful functions from food container to cot.

ShelterBox also continually work with a range of manufacturers to improve the quality and extend the range of equipment that we have available.
