What to expect

Get together with the wider group at the start on both days and at various points over the weekend, but you will step into the role of navigator on this self-supported walk.

There’ll be trails to stick to, and fellow walkers to join up with, but you’ll have to consult your maps which will be annotated to help you navigate your way around.

Whether you choose to walk alone or as part of a group, you will be ensured an amazing experience! 

For someone considering this challenge, I’d say absolutely do it.. it was an epic physical and mental challenge

4 steps to wellbeing
Sleep well

A good night's sleep is an essential foundation for a healthy lifestyle, effective training and weight control.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
