GPS MAP TRACKER (FOLLOW THE MOVEMENTS REAL TIME OF THE EXPEDITION)

Please follow this link: 

http://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=0W00ixYDY8hOkCPrmiPqZRFqQJjIuUPnk

to follow the "footprints" in real time of the expedition on Aconcagua, White Sentinel Charity Climb. 

Due to a system limitation, you can only see the movements for the last 7 days. Since the expedition lasts aproximately 20 days (on the mountain), you will only be able to see parts of the actual route real time (last 7 days).  

IMPORTANT: At the moment you can only see 1 "footprint" in Alfaz del Pi, as this is real time gps tracking. You will not be able to follow the actual movement of the expedition until 1st of December, which is when we actually start to walk. For your information and interest, we have estimate summit date set to 14 or 15th of December. So please call in between 1st and 15th of December to have a check up on how things are going. 

I leave today for Argentina, and I hope for the best, and I wish you all a Merry Christmas. See you aproximately 20th December, on our (hopefully) successful return.

Sincerely yours Thomas Ronning on behalf of WHITE SENTINEL CHARITY CLIMB.

The climbing route

Harmonia de Ifach (masons)

People from the lodge of San Juan no. 28, who help me out with this quest, were attending a meeting at the Harmonia de Ifach lodge in Calpe the other day, and received funds for our charity climb. Thank you to Stewart Gammer. Also thank you to him for other help he has given. 

Fidusia

I was invited to a lunch at the Pinocchio restaurant in Torrevieja the other day, to hold a small speach about the White Sentinel Charity Climb, for the local Fiducia foundation. It was very nice and I raised some funds and spread the word about the charity climb. Thank you to Mr. Andreas Mitthassel who runs that show.

Donations from freemasons to the charity climb

I have lately received very generous donations from the freemasons in the Valencian region, more specifically from the Steward's Lodge no. 154 and the San Juan Lodge no. 28. From these fine institutions I have received 500,- euros and 220,- euros respectively. 

The newly elect master of San Juan no. 28, WM Ian Holness, has even decided to dedicate the funds to be raised in next meeting's raffle, the 100th meeting at 26th of November 2013, to the White Sentinel Charity Climb. 

This goes to show that freemasons are generous people who have charity close to heart.
