Challenge 1: Three Peaks Hike

Fundraising for HFT to support learning disabled adults live their best lives.

The Three Peaks Challenge: conquering the UK's three highest peaks in around 48 hours or less.

An amazing challenge, that takes you across the country, to the highest points where you're greeted with the most amazing views (including the sunrise across the Lake District). But, a challenge nonetheless - and a challenge that is harder than many people think

Challenge 2: High Atlas Trek

fundraising for Teenage cancer trust.

Home to rocky gorges, high altitude settlements and incredible scenery, the High Atlas Mountains are a trekker’s paradise. You will tackle extreme temperatures and tough climbs but be rewarded with varied landscapes, delightful village stays and spectacular views of the entire Atlas range and the Marrakech plains beyond. Your challenge will end with well-deserved celebrations in Marrakech, a wonderful chance to experience the vibrant Moroccan way of life.

This is a multi-day trek to significant altitude, led by experienced guides, climbing on rocky terrain with several hours of trekking each day. Tough, but truly rewarding, this challenge will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
