Whether you have always had a burning desire to cycle from Land’s End to John O’Groats, found yourself agreeing to climb the three highest peaks in Scotland, England, and Wales with some friends after a few beers or want to walk the length of Hadrian’s Wall, there is no better reason to take up the challenge than to raise funds for a great cause.

Whatever your goal, the Trust is happy to offer whatever support and advice it can, and we will provide sponsorship forms and t-shirts.

Here are just a few of the challenges people have organised themselves to raise funds for the Trust:

Craig Heggie and Chris Hillman set themselves the challenge of cycling from Land’s End in Cornwall to John O’Groats in Scotland in just six days. They raised ….. and completed the challenge in 5 days and 15 hours.

Steve Gates and his neighbour cycled stage one of the famous Tour de France race – 120 miles from Black Heath to Canterbury – and raised £2,000.

Four Friends completed an endurance challenge of a lifetime when they climbed 24 Cumbrian Peaks in 24 hours. Leon Woodham, Adam Butcher, Phil Norman and Ant Noyce raised £540 from their efforts.

Seven parents took on the challenge of climbing Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and travelling between them in 24 hours. Claire Fay, Mike Fay, Tracey Blundell, Steve Blundell, Sean Kemp, Stuart Thew and Mike Davies, all parents of the Whitegrove Cougars U9 football team, completed the trip in 21 hours and 40 minutes, raising £5,500.

Four teams of Thames Valley Police staff raised more than £5,000 through organising a static 24-hour row. They aimed to row 435,500 metres, which is the distance from Land’s End to John O’ Groats, but smashed their target rowing 1,306,500 metres.
