African Aids Trek, Cederberg

"Just a note to thank you for your web site and all the info on hiking, i.e. boots, back packs, sleeping bags, etc.

I will be going to Cederberg Wilderness in April 2002 with the Pallotta Team Works group on an African Aids Trek. We're hiking 75 miles in 7 days in an effort to raise money for an Aids vaccine. I'm looking forward to it ~ it's a little scary but also an exciting prospect. I will use your advise when looking for my equipment for the trip."
