Councillor Phil Bale (Who Climbed Africa's Highest Mountain Kilimanjaro To Raise Funds for RAG) Will Be Taking Part

Phil at the top of Kilimanjaro.

 Last summer Councillor Phil Bale succeeded in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro where he raised a Reservoir Action Group poster at the summit (for a brief few moments at least!). Phil’s climb raised hundreds of pounds in sponsorship for our campaign to protect another area of outstanding beauty on this planet. It was a great personal achievement that once again shows the strength of feeling against Western Power Distribution’s plans for the reservoir site.

Phil’s photos from the climb are on http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150271896061722.323928.626886721&l=5400fde8dc&type=1

The sign behind Phil reads: “Uhuru Peak, Tanzania, 5895m; Africa’s Highest Point; World’s Highest Free-Standing Mountain; One of the World’s Largest Volcanoes; Welcome”
