The following organisations (listed alphabetically) have given their support to the Rockall Ho! 2005 charity appeal. We who are about to sail salute you:
Action Outdoors: Big up rispek to Dave Tonks of this Ipswich-based climbing outfit which has both supplied essential climbing equipment for the Rockall Ho! 2005 adventure, and also arranged training for the team. Action Outdoors are travel, trekking, climbing and rambling gear specialists, so if you're looking for some action-type equipment, give them a call. Action Outdoors
Body Glove: Manufactured to the highest standards of quality and durability since 1953, Body Glove's wetsuits will ensure that the Rockall Ho! team have the best possible protection from the chill waters of the North Atlantic. All the company's products are "brutally tested in extreme conditions by our team of professionals", which sounds ominously and entirely appropriate. Body Glove
File-Away: We are indebted to Scottish IT company File-Away for its generous donation towards the fund. Based on the Isle of Benbecula, the boys are already as close to Rockall as you can feasibly go without getting your feet wet. We even had time to pop in on them on the way back from the Sacred Rock in 2003 and were able — over a few beers — to admire their skills in wireless networking, mailing list administration, software and IT solutions for small-medium or large businesses. File-Away
Macleod Organics: We're absolutely delighted to declare that the food for our Rockall Ho! 2005 adventure will be supplied by Macleod Organics - suppliers of top-quality nosh across the Highlands. Macleod offers organic veg, meat, fruit, cheese and, agreeably, beer - all of which can be delivered to your door. It also has a shop and cafe (both closed during the winter), and does event catering too. It's all go on the Invernesshire organic front, make no mistake. Macleod Organics
The PR Exchange: We applaud the terrific work by PR supremo Di Davidson in not only sourcing some top-notch kit, but also keeping the press fully informed of our Rockall Ho! charity appeal. If you see our handsome and chiselled features in the papers over the next few months, you'll know who's responsible. Di, the beers are on us. The PR Exchange
The Register: Ta very much once more to IT news monolith The Register, which has allowed us to tap into its vast readership in search of sponsors and equipment. Good effort. theregister.co.uk
