If you would like to help the Pakistan Relief project please take any of the following items to your nearest Cotswold Outdoor (before November 30th):

-Sturdy and robust hiking or expedition style tents & larger durable family camping tents.
-Sleeping bags.
-Warm & wet weather clothing including hats, gloves, thermals and polypro socks.

PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL DONATED ITEMS ARE IN REASONABLE & USABLE CONDITION.

Please do not send:
-Lightweight clothing, old, lightweight or poor quality tents, old blankets, toys or gifts of any kind.

We are looking to recruit four regional co-ordinators to collect items from some of the stores- they will need an estate car (or van), some storage space and be available until the first week of December. Your role will be to make weekly collections from the stores and then keep the donated items until The Mountain Company collects from you in early December. The Mountain Company will make the collection in the south but are looking for help in the following area:
1) Lakes- Grasmere & Keswick
2) North Wales- Betws y Coed, Rock Bottom & Royal Oak.
3) Scotland- Glasgow
4) North- Manchester, Harrogate & Nottingham (this area could be sub divided if need be)

Please contact me if you are interested in helping.

Roland.
