Venture and Innovation Awards (VIAs) support transformational and innovative research projects by providing financial support and bringing funding into the field of cystic fibrosis (CF) from external sources.
Venture and Innovation Awards allow short-term projects to take advantage of innovative opportunities and are designed to leverage additional funding. For every pound spent by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust to fund a VIA, an additional four pound has been leveraged from an external agency.
The VIA programme is structured as a competitive leverage funding programme, whereby funds will only be awarded following success of an application to an external funding body. External funding bodies include government funding bodies, academic institutions and other medical research charities where applications undergo peer review.
We agree VIA funding in principle prior to submission of external funding body applications. Please contact us well in advance of your submission in order for us to consider your application so we can add a letter of support.
The VIA programme relies on the science being peer reviewed by the external funding body, thus we can only consider applications where this peer review will take place. For industry awards we request evidence of internal review prior to awarding funding, please contact us for the process.
If you wish to apply for a VIA, please contact us researchgrants@cysticfibrosis.org.uk.
Since we started funding these awards in 2013 we have awarded over 50 grants across a range of different research areas. Descriptions of the types of research we’re funding are listed below, where you can find out more about ongoing projects in the research areas that interest you.
You can also see who we have partnered with in each VIA, using our colour-coded labels for: NIHR partner, Charity Partner, Pharmaceutical Partner, Academic Partner, Government Agency Partner and Registry Study.
The timing of lung exacerbations or a worsening of CF symptoms can be very hard to predict. We’re currently funding studies in children and adults to understand more about them. If we can predict when they might happen, then we can treat them quicker and ultimately aim to make them happen less often.
Find out more about research into lung exacerbations here.
While the symptoms of CF are well known, better ways to manage them are continually being developed, helping to keep people healthier and reducing their effects on quality of life. Our research projects range from ensuring that the way lung function is measured is as accurate as possible, to developing drugs that can help break down the mucus in the lungs of people with cystic fibrosis.

People with CF can have a range of different lung infections, and it’s important to know which infections are present and how to treat them. Understanding how bacteria work can lead researchers to spot weaknesses that can be targeted with drugs. The research we’re currently funding includes learning more about the bacteria to identify their weak spots, discovering how to disrupt the formation of ‘biofilms’ that cause antibiotic resistance and developing methods to speed up the detection of bacteria in samples from people with cystic fibrosis.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition, caused by damage to the ‘CFTR’ gene in both copies of the gene. The location of damage within the genes can vary from person to person – this is what is known as a “genotype”. Increasingly treatments are focussed on treating people with specific CF genotypes. The research we fund in this area ranges from ways to permanently correct the CFTR gene using gene editing, to early research that is working out ways to repair lung damage caused by cystic fibrosis.
Find out more about genetic research here.
There are different ways to approach therapies for cystic fibrosis. As well as drug therapies, the Trust is investing in gene therapies, which work to replace the damaged gene – in the case of cystic fibrosis, the CFTR gene – with a healthy copy of the gene. The Gene Therapy Consortium is a group of researchers based at Imperial College London, the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh who are working together to develop gene therapies for cystic fibrosis. Currently, our support for the GTC involves a £500,000 investment over two years from 2017 – 2019.
Find out about our research priorities and how and when we are allocating funding to meet these requirements and have the greatest impact on cystic fibrosis research.
Researchers are investigating a range of issues related to cystic fibrosis, from transplants to bacterial infections and gene therapy.

You can get EZ-Builder Robot Control Software and try this out yourself.
Not a programmer? No problem! The EZ-Builder application allows non-programmers to easily build robots using advanced functions of the EZ-B Robot Controller. It is a Microsoft Windows application that gives you remote and scripting control of your custom robot design. Within the application, you add Controls that mimic your robot’s configuration. There are many controls for speakers, iRobot Roomba, HBridge, Servos, Cameras, Voice Recognition, Joysticks and more! There is even an easy scripting language so you may create short animations, interactions or initialization routines for your robot.
Using a Dremel, hot glue gun, screw drivers and various other tools, you can begin modifying the toy shell to fit your servos. For wheels or mobility, use continuous rotation modified servos. For arms and neck, use a standard servo. To allow your robot to see for object detection, use a Sharp IR Distance Sensor or a HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Ping Sensor.
My younger son is interested in robotics and waited patiently for about four years to be old enough to use the Mindstorm robotic toy. He was very excited once he got it but found that it was not as hands on as he had hoped. Since he is still relatively young for the age requirement I think he bit off more than he could chew for an 11 year old. As he gets older I want to help him to explore the world of robotics more fully. It is a very exciting field to play in.
The Wall-e is so much like the real guy in the movie. very cool!
Robots have always fascinated me and I always wanted to build one. Will be checking out this software when I have the time.
This is a nice video. I like it. I am very interested in robotics. It is awesome how modern robots can move and to some really nice work. I think i will try to programm my own robots with this control software. I hope it will be great to look at.
It never crossed my mind that creating a wall-e robot is very easy. Although I can get my hands on tools and materials to create the robot, the fact that I have no idea on how to program a robot stops me to do so. I really appreciate the video and thank you for posting this. I will make sure to try this out and see if I can make my most favorite robot (this will be my first time to create one; so wish me luck).

“Frankie Peak” (far right; 2375m) and “Larry Mountain” (right of centre; 2375m) from the summit of “Table Top”. Both peaks were unofficially named by Andrew Nugara in honour of his mother and step-father.
Another view of “Frankie Peak” (right of centre) this time from Lys Ridge. We ascended using the ridge that begins in the foreground centre. Our original plan was to make a loop that included “Frankie”, “Larry” (right of “Frankie”), and North Castle (far right – summit not shown). Instead, icy conditions thwarted our trip from “Frankie” to “Larry” and we ended up tagging “Eagle Peak” (centre left) and Whistler Mountain (far left) as an alternate loop.
“Frankie Peak” and its twin, “Larry Mountain” are prominent peaks that are located south of Table Mountain in the Castle Wilderness. I had my first good look at them in May 2014 while hiking what I call, “The Whistler Loop”, a collection of unnamed peaks on the connecting ridge between Table Mountain and Whistler Mountain. Later, I learned that my friend, Brad Wolcott, had ascended them as part of an enjoyable trip from Whistler Mountain to Mount Gladstone. In September 2016, my curiosity was renewed while hiking Lys Ridge with Andrew Nugara and Jollin Charest. Andrew told me that he had unofficially named them, “Frankie Peak” and “Larry Mountain” in honour of his mother and step-father. He had first ascended “Frankie” in May 2009 via Whistler Mountain, and then returned one month later using the same approach to summit “Larry” and then North Castle.
Therefore, with Andrew’s trip reports as my guide, I began to plan my own trip. The major variation that I wanted to make from both Andrew’s trips and Brad’s trip, was to save distance by avoiding Whistler Mountain on my approach. Like Andrew, I wanted to summit “Frankie”, “Larry”, and then North Castle, but I thought that I could make a more compact loop by ascending a ridge that led up from the South Castle Road on the western side of the mountain. This would save quite a bit of walking distance back to my vehicle after descending North Castle.
Joining me for this trip was my middle son, Nathan, who had celebrated his 20th birthday the day before, and was anxious to try out the new backpack that he had received as a gift. Also with us, was Nathan’s (and my other son, Joel’s) friend Keagan, who last joined us on our hike up Morin Peak in the Crowsnest Pass. Keegan basically lives at our house, so I will also count him as one of my mine too. 🙂 I love hiking with my kids!
At first, everything went according to plan, especially the ascent which all three of us agreed was a blast. However, after summiting “Frankie”, we discovered that the exposed ramp that Andrew had used to descend the cliff band on the east side of the mountain was covered in ice. To make matters worse, we had to battle extreme wind gusts which made for miserable conditions. So we quickly changed our plans and made a new loop by heading north where we tagged the summits of “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”) and Whistler Mountain before descending back to the road – basically doing everything that I wanted to avoid. Nevertheless, neither Nathan nor Keegan had been to these peaks before and I was happy that they still had the opportunity to record their first ever, three peak day. I will definitely return when conditions allow for a successful descent between “Frankie” and “Larry”.
Our starting point was identical to that of our Lys Ridge trip. To get here, we headed south from the hamlet of Beaver Mines along Highway 774 until we came to the turnoff for Beaver Mines Lake. Here we turned left and followed the gravel road for ~3.7km until we came to the South Castle Road, which was located on our right. We followed the road for ~600m before arriving at a couple of information signs for the Castle Special Management Area. Also in the immediate vicinity were numerous random camping spots.
Here is where things get interesting and unless you have a 4×4 or some type of high clearance vehicle, you will need to park your car and get out your bike. Fortunately, I had my trusty 4Runner so we followed the road across the dry creek bed and proceeded another 6.9km down what at times, was a rough road, until we came to a washed out section just beyond a well marked camping site next to the Castle River. We parked across the road from the campsite. As a side note, almost all of the mud holes that you have to drive through on the road are not too deep, except for the last one immediately prior to the parking area. This is the deepest one (1/2 way up my wheels) and I’ve found that it is the shallowest on the east side – just don’t stop once you’ve started going through!
From our parking spot we walked ~100m further to the south along the road until we came to the washout itself. Here we left the road and followed the creek bed east and then southeast for ~550m until we reached the base of our ascent route. We found it was easier to follow the numerous game trails located on the east side of the creek rather than staying inside the bed. When we reached the base, we crossed the creek using a game trail and a couple of well-positioned boulders.
From the creek, the initial slope is wide open and grassy. Once we reached the first shoulder, the route narrowed into a ridge and became increasingly rocky and treed. From the first shoulder to the second shoulder, we encountered thicker forest cover and frequent bands of rock – which required lots of route finding. Here we donned our helmets as some sections required hands-on scrambling. The ridge walk along the second shoulder to where it abuts against the main ridge to “Frankie” involved some light to moderate scrambling with most obstacles avoided by sticking to climber’s right. However, just prior to the abutment we encountered a small cliff that would prove to be the crux. I found an exposed ledge to climber’s right, but we found an even safer route by retracing our steps and descending to climber’s left which allowed us to bypass it completely. From here it was an easy hike up a packed argillite slope to the main ridge.
The ridge walk to “Frankie” would have been really enjoyable if it weren’t for the extreme wind gusts. To make matters worse, the light dusting of snow on the south side of the mountain had undergone a quick thaw/freeze cycle that made for some slick conditions – nothing that hampered our ascent, but definitely something that we did not want to attempt an exposed downclimb in.
From the summit we descended towards “Larry” and found Andrew’s exposed ramp, which in dry conditions would have been great, but not on this day. We could see that to bypass the cliff band, we would have to lose a significant amount of elevation over icy rocks while enduring extreme wind gusts – not fun! So we nixed our original plan and decided to knock off “Eagle Peak” and Whistler Mountain instead. To avoid the wind along the ridge, we descended the northwest face of Frankie and cut across a hanging valley to the col beneath “Eagle Peak”. The ever-increasing wind ensured that we had a miserable ascent to the summit. From here we had an easy but windy hike to Whistler Mountain before descending down the trail to the South Castle Road and then walking ~1.6km back to our vehicle.
We loved our ascent route to “Frankie Peak” and I will readily use it again when I return. Be aware though, that at some point in the future, this road will be permanently closed to motorized vehicles as part of the new Castle Wildland Provincial Park. There may also be an overnight option, where a party could knock off every summit from Table Mountain to Mount Gladstone and then North Castle. Indeed, the hanging valley between “Eagle Peak” and “Frankie” would be a very nice spot to camp!
Our total distance ended up being 12.5km with total elevation gains of 1323m. From our vehicle to the summit of “Frankie” it was 4.2km. Our total time came in at 6 hours and 41 minutes.
Our parking spot on the east side of the road across from the campsite next to the Castle River. I had turned the vehicle around so that it was facing northwest – or the direction we came from. The washout is located just ~100m further down the road behind my vehicle. This was also the same starting point for our Lys Ridge trip.
Approximately ~100m south of my vehicle, we came to a washed out section of the South Castle Road. Here we would leave the road and follow the creek bed to the left.
Looking down the creek bed from the middle of the road. The first shoulder on our ascent route as well as the main ridge that leads to ‘Frankie”, can be seen in the distance to the right of centre.
We found it was easier to stay on the east side (climber’s left) of the creek bed. Here the bushwhacking was relatively light and we could utilize intermittent game trails.
A few of the game trails wanted to leave the creek bed too early. We followed this one until it began to head up the western slope beneath Whistler Mountain. It did however, give us our first clear view of the lower section of our ascent route.
A telephoto of the previous picture. The Castle is such an amazing place!
Looking south down the valley towards Sage Mountain (centre) and Mount Matkin (right).
Looking west at our Lys Ridge ascent route.
The view to the northwest at “The Amoeba” on Barnaby Ridge (left) and Southfork Mountain (centre).
The terrain became rockier as we gained elevation.
The hiking is pretty straightforward between the base and the first shoulder.
Keegan and Nathan stop to take in the early morning views.
After reaching the first shoulder, we began to encounter frequent rock bands (mostly Finnish death metal groups who had become lost during album cover photo shoots 😉 ) and heavier forest cover.
I couldn’t resist including another shot of the morning sunlight hitting Barnaby Ridge and Southfork Mountain.
We had a blast with all of the route finding on this ascent!
One of many obstacles that we encountered on the way up.
The reverse angle of the previous picture.
Morning sunlight spotlights Mount Matkin and the slopes of Lys Ridge. Castle Peak is on the far left.
Typical terrain before reaching the second shoulder. There were many possible routes and we seemed to solve any doubts by trending climber’s right.
Nathan and Keegan enjoy a welcome break from the wind just below the second shoulder.
After reaching the second shoulder we could finally see where it joined the main ridge. The summit of “Frankie” is not yet visible.
The ridge walk along the second shoulder presented easy to moderate options for scrambling. Due to extreme wind gusts, we avoided getting too close to the crest.
Nathan and Keegan make their way along the gorgeous little ridge.
…except for the crux. It doesn’t look like much from this angle, but it presented us with a small cliff face that halted our progress.
I found an exposed ledge to climber’s right, but by backtracking we found an even safer route by descending to climber’s left. Here we could circumvent the crux without too much difficulty.
Another look back at the crux. The exposed ledge that I rejected is the vegetated patch on the left.
A more comprehensive view to the north. The Whistler Firelookout is on the far left and “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”) is on the right.
The hike from the abutment to the main ridge was over packed argillite and presented no difficulties.
Looking back from the crest of the main ridge as Nathan and Keegan make their approach (lower centre). Our vehicle is parked next to the bend in the river that can be seen in the centre.
Once on the main ridge we could finally see the summit of “Frankie Peak”. The summit of “Larry Mountain” is to the left.
Nathan and Keegan begin an extremely windy ridge walk to the summit of Frankie.
If we had chosen a less windy day, this would’ve been a fun ridge walk.

Many of the rocks on the south side of the mountain were coated in clear ice.
Nathan and Keegan slowly and carefully pick their way up to the summit.
The summit of “Frankie Peak”. My GPS read 2370m and Andrew Nugara’s read 2375m.
Nathan arrives on his first summit of his twentieth year. Keegan is just behind him.
The summit offered gorgeous views! This is the view to the east. In the foreground is “Larry Mountain” and behind it is Mount Gladstone. In the distance is Victoria Peak and foreground right is North Castle. “Whitney Creek Mountain” is on the far left.
The view to the northwest. The Whistler Fire Lookout is on the far left, followed by Whistler Mountain and then the “Whistable Peaks” with “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”) in the centre.
The view north at “Table Top” (foreground) and Table Mountain (right of centre).
The view south at a beclouded Castle Peak and Windsor Mountain. North Castle is in the foreground. Our originally planned loop for the day included “Larry Mountain” and North Castle.
Looking southwest at Lys Ridge. The summit of Lys Ridge is on the far left and West Castle is to the left of centre. Lys Ridge was one of the best ridge walks that I’ve ever done! In the background is Barnaby Ridge.
At roughly the same time that we were on the summit of “Frankie”, a party of 6 hikers had to be rescued off of Mount Haig which is located directly to the west, behind Barnaby Ridge. One of the hikers had been seriously injured and because of the weather (notice the clouds), a helicopter rescue was impossible. While the other 5 made it down the mountain, the injured person was forced to spend the night on the mountain under the care of a public safety officer from Waterton Parks. A huge thanks to all of the people who work in Search & Rescue and to all of the First Responders. Hopefully the injured person will be okay.
Keegan and Nathan on the summit of “Frankie Peak”.
Always great to stand on a summit with your kids! Happy 20th birthday Nathan!
The wind ruined any thought of a lengthy summit stay, so we began to descend towards the col between “Frankie” and “Larry Mountain”.
The north face of “Frankie” is really steep!
Bypassing the cliff further to the south required a significant detour over slippery rocks – all while hiking into the wind. This is where we changed our plans.
Heading back to the summit of “Frankie” to attempt our alternate loop.
Looking from the upper northwest slopes of “Frankie Peak” to “Eagle Peak”(right) and Whistler Mountain (centre) – our alternate loop for the day. To get out of the wind and avoid a slow descent along the ridge, we descended the northwest face of “Frankie” and cut across this hanging valley to the col beneath “Eagle Peak” (“Whistable II”). Click to continue to our “Eagle Peak II” trip report.
I saw you on the summit of Frankie on sunday; I was on my way there from Whistler, can’t believe we didn’t run into each other!!!
We saw you too!! We were in the hanging valley when you were just beneath Eagle Peak. By the time we reached the col, we couldn’t see you anymore. We looked on the ridge to Frankie and still couldn’t see you so we thought you might’ve dropped into the valley. Did you make it past Frankie? Awesome site BTW!

To avoid the wind along the ridge , we descended the northwest face of Frankie and cut across a hanging valley to the col beneath “ Eagle Peak ” . The ever - increasing wind ensured that we had a miserable ascent to the summit . From here we had an easy but windy hike to Whistler Mountain before descending down the trail to the South Castle Road and then walking ~1.6 km back to our vehicle .
 We loved our ascent route to “ Frankie Peak ” and I will readily use it again when I return . Be aware though , that at some point in the future , this road will be permanently closed to motorized vehicles as part of the new Castle Wildland Provincial Park . There may also be an overnight option , where a party could knock off every summit from Table Mountain to Mount Gladstone and then North Castle . Indeed , the hanging valley between “ Eagle Peak ” and “ Frankie ” would be a very nice spot to camp !
 Our total distance ended up being 12.5 km with total elevation gains of 1323 m. From our vehicle to the summit of “ Frankie ” it was 4.2 km . Our total time came in at 6 hours and 41 minutes .
 Our parking spot on the east side of the road across from the campsite next to the Castle River . I had turned the vehicle around so that it was facing northwest – or the direction we came from . The washout is located just ~100 m further down the road behind my vehicle . This was also the same starting point for our Lys Ridge trip .
 Approximately ~100 m south of my vehicle , we came to a washed out section of the South Castle Road . Here we would leave the road and follow the creek bed to the left .
 Looking down the creek bed from the middle of the road . The first shoulder on our ascent route as well as the main ridge that leads to ‘ Frankie ” , can be seen in the distance to the right of centre .
 We found it was easier to stay on the east side ( climber ’s left ) of the creek bed . Here the bushwhacking was relatively light and we could utilize intermittent game trails .
 A few of the game trails wanted to leave the creek bed too early . We followed this one until it began to head up the western slope beneath Whistler Mountain . It did however , give us our first clear view of the lower section of our ascent route .
 A telephoto of the previous picture . The Castle is such an amazing place !
 Looking south down the valley towards Sage Mountain ( centre ) and Mount Matkin ( right ) .
 Looking west at our Lys Ridge ascent route .
 The view to the northwest at “ The Amoeba ” on Barnaby Ridge ( left ) and Southfork Mountain ( centre ) .
 The terrain became rockier as we gained elevation .
 The hiking is pretty straightforward between the base and the first shoulder .
 Keegan and Nathan stop to take in the early morning views .
 After reaching the first shoulder , we began to encounter frequent rock bands ( mostly Finnish death metal groups who had become lost during album cover photo shoots 😉 ) and heavier forest cover .
 I could n’t resist including another shot of the morning sunlight hitting Barnaby Ridge and Southfork Mountain .
 We had a blast with all of the route finding on this ascent !
 One of many obstacles that we encountered on the way up .
 The reverse angle of the previous picture .
 Morning sunlight spotlights Mount Matkin and the slopes of Lys Ridge . Castle Peak is on the far left .
 Typical terrain before reaching the second shoulder . There were many possible routes and we seemed to solve any doubts by trending climber ’s right .
 Nathan and Keegan enjoy a welcome break from the wind just below the second shoulder .
 After reaching the second shoulder we could finally see where it joined the main ridge . The summit of “ Frankie ” is not yet visible .
 The ridge walk along the second shoulder presented easy to moderate options for scrambling . Due to extreme wind gusts , we avoided getting too close to the crest .
 Nathan and Keegan make their way along the gorgeous little ridge .
 … except for the crux . It does n’t look like much from this angle , but it presented us with a small cliff face that halted our progress .
 I found an exposed ledge to climber ’s right , but by backtracking we found an even safer route by descending to climber ’s left . Here we could circumvent the crux without too much difficulty .
 Another look back at the crux . The exposed ledge that I rejected is the vegetated patch on the left .
 A more comprehensive view to the north . The Whistler Firelookout is on the far left and “ Eagle Peak ” ( “ Whistable II ” ) is on the right .
 The hike from the abutment to the main ridge was over packed argillite and presented no difficulties .
 Looking back from the crest of the main ridge as Nathan and Keegan make their approach ( lower centre ) . Our vehicle is parked next to the bend in the river that can be seen in the centre .
 Once on the main ridge we could finally see the summit of “ Frankie Peak ” . The summit of “ Larry Mountain ” is to the left .
 Nathan and Keegan begin an extremely windy ridge walk to the summit of Frankie .
 If we had chosen a less windy day , this would ’ve been a fun ridge walk .
 Taking shelter from the wind to consume some calories and put on more layers .
 Many of the rocks on the south side of the mountain were coated in clear ice .
 Nathan and Keegan slowly and carefully pick their way up to the summit .
 The summit of “ Frankie Peak ” . My GPS read 2370 m and Andrew Nugara ’s read 2375 m.
 Nathan arrives on his first summit of his twentieth year . Keegan is just behind him .
 The summit offered gorgeous views ! This is the view to the east . In the foreground is “ Larry Mountain ” and behind it is Mount Gladstone . In the distance is Victoria Peak and foreground right is North Castle . “ Whitney Creek Mountain ” is on the far left .
 The view to the northwest . The Whistler Fire Lookout is on the far left , followed by Whistler Mountain and then the “ Whistable Peaks ” with “ Eagle Peak ” ( “ Whistable II ” ) in the centre .
 The view north at “ Table Top ” ( foreground ) and Table Mountain ( right of centre ) .
 The view south at a beclouded Castle Peak and Windsor Mountain . North Castle is in the foreground . Our originally planned loop for the day included “ Larry Mountain ” and North Castle .
 Looking southwest at Lys Ridge . The summit of Lys Ridge is on the far left and West Castle is to the left of centre . Lys Ridge was one of the best ridge walks that I ’ve ever done ! In the background is Barnaby Ridge .
 At roughly the same time that we were on the summit of “ Frankie ” , a party of 6 hikers had to be rescued off of Mount Haig which is located directly to the west , behind Barnaby Ridge . One of the hikers had been seriously injured and because of the weather ( notice the clouds ) , a helicopter rescue was impossible . While the other 5 made it down the mountain , the injured person was forced to spend the night on the mountain under the care of a public safety officer from Waterton Parks . A huge thanks to all of the people who work in Search & Rescue and to all of the First Responders . Hopefully the injured person will be okay .
 Keegan and Nathan on the summit of “ Frankie Peak ” .
 Always great to stand on a summit with your kids ! Happy 20th birthday Nathan !
 The wind ruined any thought of a lengthy summit stay , so we began to descend towards the col between “ Frankie ” and “ Larry Mountain ” .
 The north face of “ Frankie ” is really steep !
 Bypassing the cliff further to the south required a significant detour over slippery rocks – all while hiking into the wind . This is where we changed our plans .
 Heading back to the summit of “ Frankie ” to attempt our alternate loop .
 Looking from the upper northwest slopes of “ Frankie Peak ” to “ Eagle Peak”(right ) and Whistler Mountain ( centre ) – our alternate loop for the day . To get out of the wind and avoid a slow descent along the ridge , we descended the northwest face of “ Frankie ” and cut across this hanging valley to the col beneath “ Eagle Peak ” ( “ Whistable II ” ) . Click to continue to our “ Eagle Peak II ” trip report .
 I saw you on the summit of Frankie on sunday ; I was on my way there from Whistler , ca n’t believe we did n’t run into each other ! ! !
 We saw you too ! ! We were in the hanging valley when you were just beneath Eagle Peak . By the time we reached the col , we could n’t see you anymore . We looked on the ridge to Frankie and still could n’t see you so we thought you might ’ve dropped into the valley . Did you make it past Frankie ? Awesome site BTW !

Investing in windows is never a waste of money. A good set of windows can really improve the aesthetics of your house, which can boost the value and increase the chances of a resale if you want to move on after so many years. However, there are many other benefits to opting for a Manchester buy now pay later double glazing package if you are thinking of changing the windows in your home this year.
The quality of glass that we have on offer here at Malbern Windows and Doors is such that any unwanted noise pollution is kept exactly where it should be – right outside your house. If you live in a densely populated residential area and want some peace and quiet when you step through the front door after a busy day at work, you need to have double glazing installed. You’ll be seriously impressed with how much outside noise is actually reduced.
Another key benefit of buying double glazed windows is that your home will be that much more secure. Anyone breaking in will think twice about it if they have to smash their way through two panes of glass instead of one. In addition, our windows come with multipoint locking mechanisms so you’ll feel that much safer at home after you’ve had them installed.
But there’s one other key benefit to opting for double glazing for your windows at home and that’s how warm such an installation can keep your house. Double glazing works by trapping air in between two panes of glass, which means it can retain heat far better during the winter and release it more effectively in the summer, so your home stays warm when it should and cools down when you want it to.
All our products here at Malbern Windows have been designed for maximum energy efficiency, so you’ll be able to reduce your carbon footprint, enjoy a warmer house in the winter and see your energy bills drop into the bargain. If you haven’t yet opted for double glazing, you need to get in touch with us here at Malbern Windows to find out more about the many and varied benefits of such an installation.
We have a team of experienced and friendly professionals on hand waiting for your call. Get in touch with us today.

What’s the news? A couple of weeks ago, Instagram promised you’d be able to download your data from its servers. It’s now rolled out that feature, as first reported by TechCrunch. It includes photos, videos, comments, profile information and more. It does not, however, appear to include all the analytics data the company has on you outside of what you’ve shared.
For context: While we’d like to think Instagram will let you download your data simply out of the goodness of its heart, there are two major factors contributing to the decision.
First there’s the Cambridge Analytica scandal (I’m sure you’ve heard of it by now, but if you need a recap, our explainer post is here).
Even if Cambridge Analytica had never happened though, allowing users to download data is an important step for complying with Europe’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR goes into effect on May 25, so don’t be surprised to see plenty of other apps implementing a similar feature. In fact, you can already do so with Facebook.
Download it: The feature is available to everyone via the Web now, and is in the process of rolling out to the Android and iOS apps. Still, whether you’re on a desktop of smartphone, you can go ahead download your data by inputting your account information here. Keep in mind it takes some time for Instagram to amass all your data; the company says the process may take ‘up to 48 hours.’ After that’s complete, you’ll receive a link at the provided email address.

Many favour Marangu route because it is the cheapest route to the mountain due to few numbers of days during climbing. Marangu route has been referred to as a Coca-cola route because there is no any challenge physical feature which might bring any difficult during climbing only the altitude can be a challenge on this route due to the few numbers of days for acclimatization but it is the only route which you have your accommodation in the Huts but only when you book in advance.
On our last day, we have a long trek mostly downhill through the tropical rainforest. Once at the park headquarters at Marangu gate, we collect our summit certificates. A vehicle will meet us here and drive us back to your hotel in Moshi/Arusha.
Your trekking company is able to pick you up from the airport and bring your to your hotel in Moshi, if needed. A transfer back to the airport can also be arranged.
The transport from Moshi to the gate of Kilimanjaro National Park is taken care off. This also applies to the way back.
Unless you are doing the Marangu Route, you’re staying in our strong and well maintained four season mountain tents. Every time you arrive at your camp the tent has already been set up.
On the Marangu Route you will be provided with a bed in one of the huts on the way to Uhuru Peak. There are 60 bunk beds each at Mandara and Kibo Huts, and 120 bunk beds at Horombo Hut.
Double layered mats provided by your trekking company will put you to sleep in no time.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared during the trek. Your trekking company is bringing their own cook. Don’t be surprised when you see an exclusive three course dinner on your plate.
During the trek you won’t have a shortage on drinking water.
Don’t expect an extensive shower, but there will be the possibility to use hot water for a decent wash.
The guides carry an altitude sickness kit to monitor your pulse rate, oxygen saturation and heart rate twice a day (very useful for monitoring the symptoms of altitude sickness (AMS) at altitude). Also emergency portable oxygen is carried along. On top of that the guides are qualified Wilderness First Responders.
The fees for the Kilimanjaro Rescue Team are covered. This is managed by KINAPA, Kilimanjaro National Parks. Interesting fact: Kinapa means “We carry each other” in Swahili.
The park entry fees, the crater fee, camping fee and value added tax are included in the price.
Per person you generally have a team of 1 guide, 1 cook and 3 porters who will support you in your climb. If you are part of a group of four, you will be able to enjoy 2 guides, 1 cook and 12 porters. Although there will always be enough hands on deck, the exact amount of support staff varies per trekking company.
Visas are required for all visitors, and cost about $50. For most nationalities it is possible to get a visa upon arrival when you arrive at the airport in Tanzania. Check with your local Tanzanian embassy or consulate to see what the requirements are.
The total amount is also exclusive of flights to and from Tanzania. To get an idea of which airlines are visiting Kilimanjaro International Airport (KIA), it is best to have a look at their website.
Your international travel insurance is your own responsibility. It is important that your travel insurance also covers adventures at a high altitude. Discuss your itinerary with the insurance company before you travel to Tanzania.
Tips for guides and porters are exclusive. You decide what you want to tip, but be generous and read our blog post about tipping when you are planning go trekking in Tanzania.
Whether you stay in Moshi, Arusha or anywhere else, before and after the trek you have to take care of your own accommodation and meals.
While the intention is to stick to the described route, a certain degree of flexibility is built in. In some cases it may be necessary to change the route here and there. The mountains are full of surprises, and the weather on Mount Kilimanjaro is unpredictable. The guides continuously carry out risk assessments throughout the expedition. It is therefore best to plan a number of extra days in Tanzania to cover for possible unforeseen circumstances. Read all about altitude sickness here.
Unless you are choosing the Marangu Route, you will be staying in durable tents that are equipped for all weather situations. A few porters will always trek ahead of you to make sure that your tent is ready when you arrive. There will also be tables and chairs. Accommodation comes with freshly prepared meals. Every campsite has a long drop toilet. Along the trek you can find your private space behind a rock. Read all about camping on the Kilimanjaro here.
Do you reach Uhuru Peak or not? There is a chance that you won’t. Often this depends on the unpredictable weather on the mountain. However, it can also depend on your own physical condition.
Do you enjoy hiking, have you gone trekking at higher altitudes and do you exercise twice a week on average? With a little extra training, you are soon fit to challenge Mount Kilimanjaro.
Is this the first time that you are trekking at altitude? Make sure you are well prepared. This is important for your safety, but also for that of your team. Make sure you start six months in advance with an hour’s walk or hike twice a week. Read this blog post and get fit for your Kilimanjaro ascent.
Trekking in Kilimanjaro requires decent gear. Especially the basics like an 80-90l backpack and quality trekking socks. Also make sure to check our ultimate packing list for trekking Kilimanjaro.
– Duffel bag, (waterproof recommended) for porters to carry your equipment.
Because Mount Kilimanjaro covers a relatively large surface area and a lot of elevation, the mountain has more or less its own climate. Responsible for the weather patterns around Mount Kilimanjaro are trade winds that bring along moist from the Indian Ocean. Because of these trade winds, the months of March, April, May and November are the wettest. The southern mountain slopes are especially rainy in these months. From January to March there is a greater chance to see snow on and around the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. This can be experienced as negative, but it will any case be much quieter on the trails. Although these are the coldest months, snowfall and cold temperatures can be expected from December to May. The most suitable and most popular season for climbing Kilimanjaro is from June to October. In these months you can choose any route without having to worry about rain too much. If you want a comfortable route during the rainy season, you best choose the Rongai Route, approaching Kilimanjaro from the North. Due to the differences in altitude and the associated climate zones, it is difficult to estimate the temperatures.
Trekking on Kilimanjaro is hard, both for yourself and your support staff. Per person you have a team who will support you in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro. This team usually consists of a guide, three porters and a cook. This way you don’t have to carry your full gear yourself. The guide speaks English and usually the rest of the team speaks English as well. You can make things more interesting by learning a few words of Swahili in advance.
Bookatrekking.com strives to only work with providers who treat porters in a fair manner. Without porters, there is no trekking on Kilimanjaro. They are the heart and soul of your adventure and every day, they carry part of your gear. Bookatrekking.com always tries to find a balance between an affordable trekking adventure and the fair treatment of porters. Read everything about porters on Kilimanjaro here.
It is impossible to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro solo. This means that every climber has his or her own team. Both the guide, the assistant guide, the porter and the cook expect a tip. For the whole trek, this sums up to an amount ranging from USD 330 to USD 450. This is per climber, which means that the amount will not be smaller if the group is larger. Be generous. Read our extensive blog about tipping on Mount Kilimanjaro.
The currency of Tanzania is the Shilling. We recommend you bring US dollars or Euros to cover the costs of your visa, extra travel, and other. It is easiest to travel in Tanzania with US dollars, but credit cards are also accepted in most places. Before you travel, check with your bank whether your credit or debit card can also be used in Tanzania.
Visa are required for all visitors, and cost about $50. It is possible to get a visa-on arrival when you arrive at the airport in Tanzania. Look here at the website of the embassy for arranging your visa.
Tanzania is an area where yellow fever occurs and therefore we recommend you to be vaccinated. We also recommend that you have all other vaccinations such as Tetanus, Diphtheria, Polio and Hepatitis A & B up to date. Malaria is present in Tanzania but there are no mosquitoes at high altitude. Always consult your health professional 90 days ahead of departure.
Huts but only when you book in advance.

 While the intention is to stick to the described route , a certain degree of flexibility is built in . In some cases it may be necessary to change the route here and there . The mountains are full of surprises , and the weather on Mount Kilimanjaro is unpredictable . The guides continuously carry out risk assessments throughout the expedition . It is therefore best to plan a number of extra days in Tanzania to cover for possible unforeseen circumstances . Read all about altitude sickness here .

 – Duffel bag , ( waterproof recommended ) for porters to carry your equipment .
 Because Mount Kilimanjaro covers a relatively large surface area and a lot of elevation , the mountain has more or less its own climate . Responsible for the weather patterns around Mount Kilimanjaro are trade winds that bring along moist from the Indian Ocean . Because of these trade winds , the months of March , April , May and November are the wettest . The southern mountain slopes are especially rainy in these months . From January to March there is a greater chance to see snow on and around the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro . This can be experienced as negative , but it will any case be much quieter on the trails . Although these are the coldest months , snowfall and cold temperatures can be expected from December to May . The most suitable and most popular season for climbing Kilimanjaro is from June to October . In these months you can choose any route without having to worry about rain too much . If you want a comfortable route during the rainy season , you best choose the Rongai Route , approaching Kilimanjaro from the North . Due to the differences in altitude and the associated climate zones , it is difficult to estimate the temperatures .
 Trekking on Kilimanjaro is hard , both for yourself and your support staff . Per person you have a team who will support you in climbing Mount Kilimanjaro . This team usually consists of a guide , three porters and a cook . This way you do n’t have to carry your full gear yourself . The guide speaks English and usually the rest of the team speaks English as well . You can make things more interesting by learning a few words of Swahili in advance .

Bookatrekking.com always tries to find a balance between an affordable trekking adventure and the fair treatment of porters . Read everything about porters on Kilimanjaro here .
 It is impossible to climb the Mount Kilimanjaro solo . This means that every climber has his or her own team . Both the guide , the assistant guide , the porter and the cook expect a tip . For the whole trek , this sums up to an amount ranging from USD 330 to USD 450 . This is per climber , which means that the amount will not be smaller if the group is larger . Be generous . Read our extensive blog about tipping on Mount Kilimanjaro .

Natasha Hutchison, originally from the United States, relocated to the Highlands to study part time on our MSc Sustainable Mountain Development. She now works as a Project Officer for Wester Ross Biosphere.
"I was looking for a course with flexible delivery so I could study from home at a time that suited me. I considered the Open University but felt it was rather ‘faceless’. Whereas this university has campuses all around the Highlands and Islands and is a recognised name and brand.
I feel extremely lucky that I have been able to utilise my postgraduate qualification locally, working with the communities and exploring opportunities which can create a sustainable legacy for decades to come. This was helped by support from well-connected and internationally recognised tutors, in particular, Professor Martin Price, who holds several high-profile positions out with the specific world of academia, including the UNESCO Chair of Sustainable Mountain Development."
Where would you like to go with your career in the future?
It is exciting to be part of a 'model' area in sustainable development, and I hope that we will be able to assist our future generations in continuing this legacy.

If you are looking for one of the best high end luxury apartment rentals in all of London I highly recommend checking out the Cheval Residence’s Thorney Court Apartments. Located near Hyde Park and Kensington Palace, the apartments are just a short tube ride from the Thames and from being right in downtown London.
Luckily for me I was upgraded to a two bedroom, two and a half bath penthouse suite with the biggest patio for a rental apartment/condo that I have ever experienced. If you are going to stay here you are going to have quite the amount of pocket change but if you can afford it I highly recommend it.
The location is ideal with many grocery stores nearby including a Whole Foods. The concierge are friendly, quick and at your service 24/7. It’s definitely nice when you travel as much as I do when you can go to a grocery store then cook* a meal for yourself in your own kitchen with every utensil imaginable. It is then doubly nice when you realize you don’t have any salt and the concierge brings you a huge container of it in the blink of an eye.
My master suite in the apartment had a comfortable king sized bed, flat screen TV, lots of closet/storage space as well as a large window with a view of the neighbourhood. This apartment was so large that I am pretty sure had I been staying with someone else that they could have been yelling in the living room and I wouldn’t have heard them all the way in the master bedroom. Extremely spacious.
The master suite also had its own bathroom with two double sinks, a bidet, towel warmer, tub/shower and more of the great smelling bath products that the Cheval properties always have. It is nice that they set you up with amenities just as if it was a hotel, the little things like a towel warmer and quality bath products really make a place and bring it together for me.
The second bedroom was a great size as well and its beds could be separated into two single beds if needed. It also had its own full sized bathroom with bidet, warming rack, tub and shower.
Extras in the property include a powder room, great for if you have visitors to entertain keeping them out of your main bathroom. Also one of the things that I love most about Cheval Residences is that you don’t come into the apartment empty-handed without any food. The property provides you with a few essentials so that you don’t have to run out to the store right away. Various apartments that I have stayed in have provided me with bread, butter, milk, water, tea, coffee, biscuits, popcorn and granola.
Another great thing about the Cheval Residences is that they don’t skimp on appliances in the kitchen either. There is always a washer and dryer combo, dishwasher, full sized fridge, coffee maker, tea kettle, stove and oven as well as toasters, coffee makers and more. The drawers are also full of all of the utensils necessary.
Lastly my penthouse suite also had a large living room and a separate dining room area. Just imagine the parties that you could have in this place. The decor to me was very english and made me feel kind of like royalty especially the adorable porcelain dogs on the mantle piece.
To book at stay at the Cheval Residences Thorney Court luxury apartment immediately check it out on Booking.com HERE.
I have also stayed at the Cheval Residences Phoenix House and you can see my review HERE and at the Cheval Residences Gloucester Park which you can view HERE.
My stay was hosted by Cheval Residences, however as always all opinions, views, and dreams conquered are my own.
