Fingers crossed HillBoy will scare the snakes away...and hopefully the hippos who were found wandering just 15 metres from our tent shortly after this photo was taken wouldn't be able to handle the heat either!

We’re just back from Kenya, where we met up with members of my family who are driving from Cape Town to the UK – for details visit www.hoektohooke.com/. At their request I took over a raft of Gurkha supplies – taking up a significant amount of baggage allowance! The supplies were much appreciated by one and all – including me! A delicious curry was enjoyed around the camp fire with the noises of the wild animals of the Masai Mara in the background… probably the most memorable setting in which  I have enjoyed a Gurkha curry to date! (And the Hillboy seemed to keep the snakes at bay.)

Have you taken your Hillboy anywhere unusual. We’d love to hear about it if you have!

Gurkha Fine Foods raise £4000 at Trailwalker 2011

Gurkha Fine Foods sponsored 2 teams to enter this year’s annual Trailwalker event, a gruelling 100km race over the South Downs. The teams performed brilliantly in the event, despite torrential rain, and raised a massive £4000 for the Gurkha Welfare Trust and Oxfam.

Trailwalker is organised by Queen’s Gurkha Signals and Oxfam. As Gurkha Fine Foods was born in the heart of Queen’s Gurkha Signals, the event has a particularly strong resonance for the company. As such it always donates stock to the event – all proceeds from sales of stock go directly to the GWT. And this year, the company went further and supported the event by sponsoring two teams.

Owners of Gurkha Fine Foods, Chris and Emma Ford, both went along to the event to cheer on their teams and show their support to the Queen’s Gurkha Signals.

“The event has, as always, been fantastic. We are so proud to have been able to support the Gurkhas and the Gurkha Welfare Trust in their efforts,” said Chris Ford. “The weather has been horrendous and both our teams have performed brilliantly!”

Trailwalker is always hotly contested amongst the Gurkha community. The Gurkha teams fight it out for first place running the entire 100km cross country course in a little over 10 hours!

Anyone who wants to enter the event next year should visit http://www.oxfam.org.uk/trailwalker for further information.  Be prepared for some hard work but a thoroughly rewarding experience!
