campers corner prep session

We went down to Campers Corner for a little talk that the folks there kindly organised for us.


Campers Corner is easily our favourite store! It offers a huge range of products that will keep every camper satisfied! (: We are proud to add that Campers Corner has been one of Dare to Dream's main supporters, especially when it comes to each team member's individual equipment. So, three cheers for them! (:

Xavier was the one who spoke to us. He has climbed Kilimanjaro before, so he gave us valuable insight as to what to expect and most importantly, how to prepare ourselves for the trip.

That's him!

The lesson he taught us was to 'always keep dry'! He brought out some of the thermal wear for us to try. JJ and Mei were the models of the day!

JJ - looking like a strange cross between a superhero and an escaped convict, and Mei - looking.. demure.. wait, something isn't right..

Aha! She's back to normal again. heh. j/k. The waterproof jacket she's wearing actually has zips under the arms to enable the wearer to air himself!

Xavier's very cool Montrails.

Xavier brought out a variety of stuff for us to try on and demostrated how each individual piece of clothing will help to keep us warm and comfortable while trekking.

We got a feel of the fabrics and cuts..

Paulies getting strangled by the powerful TT!

The lot of us trying the beanies!

Thanks Campers Corner for being such a great help to the D2D team! (: We appreciate it lots.
