Always wanted to take part in a challenge of a lifetime? - Well now’s your chance!

Take part in a Trek to Kilimanjaro or Hadrian’s Wall and raise money for a great cause –

Kilimanjaro Trek

Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest free standing mountain in the world and one of the world's 7 highest continental summits.

It's no wonder why so many people flock to her - to experience one of the best mountain challenges the world has to offer.

This trek follows the much less trodden Lemosho Glades route and is said to be one of the most stunningly beautiful hikes in Africa. We are sure this Challenge will leave you with an amazing sense of accomplishment!

 22^nd June – 3^rd July 2011, 14^th – 25^th September 2011

The 8 day trip includes 6 days of trekking which will average 15kms each day.  Camping under the desert stars at night and eating traditional Jordanian meals sitting on cushions around the campfire.  The trek journeys from Finan to the magnificent pink city of Petra , through lavish green valleys, steppe and beautiful mountain landscapes.
