Vango Climber Reaches Top of the World
26.05.10

Vango, the UK’s leading camping and outdoor brand, are delighted to announce that their sponsored climber, Ed Laughton, has reached the summit of Mt. Everest.  He is only one of 2,500 climbers who have managed the arduous climb to the top of the world’s highest mountain.

To support Ed on his adventure, Vango donated a range of items from their 2010 product range, including; a Force Ten Vortex 300 tent, a Pumori 60+10 rucsac, Viper sleeping bag and 90l Cargo bag. These products kept Ed warm and sheltered from the challenging conditions that he faced on the mountain.

Ed currently volunteers with the Himalayan Rescue Association (HRA), a not-for-profit organisation that provides vital medical care for both western trekkers and the local Nepalese population. Along with the HRA clinics in local Nepalese towns, there are also 2 clinics on the Everest base camp that minister emergency medical care to those coming off of the mountain. Ed undertook the challenge in order to raise awareness of the work that the HRA does and to fundraise as much money as possible for the clinics.



Ed was highly impressed with the design and quality of the products that Vango donated;
"Both myself and a number of others here on Everest have been genuinely impressed with the quality of Vango and Force Ten products and how they have performed in incredibly tough conditions. The Vortex 300 is a seriously fantastic tent that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends, in fact the owner of the expedition company has decided to invest in several himself. Having met the staff and seen the gear in action it is clear that Vango and Force Ten have the user in mind at all times when designing their products. Even the smaller kit such as the solar lantern has been a big hit. I lent it to our cook and he was so impressed with it I have had to come to accept that I've no chance of getting it back”.

Vango’s Marketing Manager, Sharon Mason, is delighted that Ed managed to complete his challenge:
“Since its inception, Vango has supported many adventures and expeditions that challenge the participant to the extreme. The Mt. Everest climb is no different and I am delighted that Ed has reached his goal. All of us at Vango are looking forward to hearing about his challenging adventure when he comes back to the UK.”

2010 Scottish Ultra Marathon
06.05.10

Vango are again delighted to be supporting the Scottish Ultra marathon for the second year running.

 

Starting from the 1st until the 7th May, the marathon is recognised as the toughest multi-day event held in the UK, with athletes covering 150kms of various terrains on the beautiful west coast islands of Islay and Jura.

 

Vango have donated key pieces of equipment including twenty Equinox mountain and thirty Beta adventure tents. Lightweight and durable, these tunnel tents will provide essential shelter to the participants from the elements.

 

Twenty athletes started the race on Sunday and already the tough conditions have forced several to retire early.

 

The first female and male athlete to cross the finishing line will both win some great products from our Lightweight range, including new for 2010 Apex tents and Rapide rucsacs. Designed specifically for mountain marathon competitors and lightweight adventurers, the Apex is extremely lightweight and will shelter the winner’s in future lightweight adventures. Athletes will appreciate the features of our new Ultralite rucsac, the Rapide. This rucsac will deliver fluids when needed most, contains essential storage space and has a sleek design to ensure that they do not hamper the user when time is of the essence.
