After a two year absence, we are bringing back the hugely popular UK Challenge.  The challenge is due to take place from 11th - 13th September and will be at a brand new location...

This year's challenge is the Ridgeway Trek to Avebury through the stunning

Wiltshire countryside.  This is a fabulous weekend challenge, trekking almost 25 miles through a beautiful stretch of southern chalk downs to the incredible stone circle of Avebury.

 

Starting near the 3000 year old White Horse of Uffington, we walk through shady woodland, grassy meadows and open rolling hills, dotted with Iron Age forts, sarsen stones and ancient burial mounds.  Legends link this area to King Arthur and St George.  There are plenty of hilly stretches but our efforts are rewarded by wonderfulavebury2 views of the countryside.  Our goal is prehistoric Avebury, one of the largest stone circles in Europe; where there is time to enjoy the amazing atmosphere of this World Heritage Site.

 

For the first time ever we are able to offer this challenge as a family challenge meaning that the challenge will be open to 14-18 year olds as long as they are accompanied by a parent or guardian, so get the family together and make your family challenge make a difference!
