groups & Teams
Unforgettable journeys that bond & build
Few experiences bring a group closer together than an outdoor adventure which tests comfort zones, builds understanding & resilience, and forges respect & friendships. If you have a small group you can join one of our 40+ scheduled events – or if you have a larger group or want something special – we can craft a bespoke tailored itinerary, or plan a unique challenge event from scratch in the UK or overseas to meet your objectives.

The time to come to Cuba is now and the way to see the island is by bicycle. It is an island of great music and art, of passionate peoples and incredible landscapes: beautiful beaches, rolling hills, tropical forests, cities that have wonderful life and energy. Fidel Castro has gone and now Cuba is starting to develop. It is like no other island in the Caribbean.
TREK VIETNAM
- Challenging
- 95 km
- 10 Day Itinerary
- Lodges & Homestays
This remarkable trek in Vietnam provides an ideal blend of stunning landscapes and rich cultural experiences. Towering limestone and granite mountains soar from the remote jungle, where waterfalls cascade into secluded, steep-sided valleys amid numerous nature reserves. We journey from tranquil lakes and valleys filled with corn and rice fields, up through steep, jungle-clad hills to high ridges. This trek offers extraordinary, off-the-beaten-path hiking adventures in Vietnam. Led by experts, you will gain authentic insights into remote, local life, culture, and food, whilst also pushing yourself physically further on this challenge of a lifetime.
Corporate Challenges
Motivation. Wellbeing. Engagement. CSR
Energise colleagues, boost wellbeing, engagement & loyalty, and ensure CSR objectives are on-track. We’ve planned & delivered many amazing corporate challenges – from taking Harrods, HSBC, Blackrock, DHL, Citibank to Kilimanjaro’s summit; groups from British Gas & WPP on grand cycling tours; to hundreds of Tesco trekkers relaying the full length of Britain. Whatever challenge your organisation is looking for – UK, Europe, overseas – mass participation, small group, or even a company wide ‘virtual event’ – we can make it happen!
Open Evenings
Hear more about one of our challenges – we run regular open evenings for a selected range of trips – either online, or you can join our team in-person. The sessions last for around one hour, and include time for any questions you might have – PLUS there are exclusive discounts.
Charity Challenges
We can help boost fundraising & loyalty
We deal with over 800 UK charities of all sizes, and our challenge events have helped raise over £100 million for good causes. We run UK’s biggest & best series of walks & runs with our famous Ultra Challenges, helping raise over £8 million annually for UK charities. For bigger challenges, charity fundraisers can take places on our open group departures, or we can create a bespoke challenge for your charity if you have a larger group. We have the range of events, the experience, the track record, and the passion to help your charity with a fundraising challenge.
The UK’s best loved & biggest series of walking & running trail challenges – with 30,000+ adventurers taking part each year and raising over £7 million for over 400 charities. In 2023 we have 15 fantastic events across the country that your charity can promote to your fundraisers & corporate partners.
We have 40+ events & adventures across UK, Europe, & overseas that your charity can promote to your supporters as amazing fundraising challenges. They’ll get full support all the way, with UK mountain leaders & medics on our tough overseas treks – and you’ll have the confidence of dealing with a first class operator that has over 20 years experience within the charity challenge sector.
Many charities want their own special ‘bespoke’ trip – tailored for their supporters to act as a focal point for a major fundraising initiative – and we’ve organised hundreds of successful, unique, challenges. Whether it’s a trek, cycle, community project, or mass participation event – in the UK or abroad – our Team will deliver the perfect event, which your charity will be proud of, and will inspire your supporters!
We have a flexible platform which facilitates any form of virtual challenge for our clients – whether it’s walking, running, cycling, climbing, swimming, or even haircutting! An engaging virtual challenge could be a great addition to your charity’s fundraising program – and we can deliver it.
