challenge yourself with like-minded adventurers

Whether you’re exploring the wonders of Machu Picchu, or tackling a snow-capped Himalayan peak, you’ll be part of a larger group of adventurers, with full support provided by our team. Most people join on their own, around 60%, with the rest bringing friends or family along. It’s a fun, social and safe way to explore the world and take on new challenges – with an opportunity to make new friends and push yourself further!

The Best Support...

Our team are with you every step of the way

All our trips come with full support from our experienced team of UK Leaders and Medics. Expect great characters, on hand to ensure the team bond and able to share their own knowledge. In-country, you’ll have the best local crews working to deliver a smooth and enjoyable adventure! We use good accommodation, source great food, and our itineraries include all the highlights you’ll want to experience before heading back home on all our adventure travel and charity challenges. To help you prepare, we have an in-depth Challenge app, containing kit lists, training guides and more.

Overseas Trips of the Month

KILIMANJARO MACHAME

The 6-day Kilimanjaro Machame Route trek heads in from the south western side of the National Park, through the dense rain forest. It’s a ‘short & sharp’ approach to the summit via Barafu Camp and Stella Point. The varied scenery along the way, makes it one of the most interesting ascents of Kilimanjaro for those who feel confident!

ICELAND FIRE & ICE TREK

Iceland is a land of contrast- our Fire and Ice challenge showcases the best of this incredible wilderness with glaciers, volcanoes, sweeping valleys, raging rivers, lava fields and the new 2021 eruption site (up close!)  You’ll complete 3 days of challenging wild trekking with nights spent under canvass, before a last night hotel and celebration in the Icelandic capital, Reykjavik.
