Efrain Running in the Marathon

Here at Skedaddle we have had a busy and exciting April as our new brochure for trips in 2012/13 was finished and sent out and Efrain, our good friend and guide from Peru came to the UK to run the London Marathon for Traidcraft Exchange. We have been overwhelmed with the fantastic support that Efrain has received and it was great to see lots of familiar faces.

Thanks go to everyone and especially Anna and Ian for all of their time and effort and it has certainly been rewarded as we have raised over £5,000 for Traidcraft Exchange and a significant amount for the school in Cusco which Efrain supports.

Well done and thanks again to everyone!!!

If you haven’t received your copy of the new brochure or if you would like to order more copies then please click here or contact Lizzie or Evie in the office.

We are already taking bookings for all tours in 2013 and with some filling up very quickly, do give us a call if you would like more information or to register your interest.

If you are looking to join us this year then there is still time. You can find details of all trips with availability below or you can call us to receive the most up to date information.

As always, we are available by phone or email in the office between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday. Call Lizzie, Evie or Paul on 0191 2651110 to check availability or for more information on any of our tours.

All the best,
Lizzie, Evie and Paul
