Challenges

Overseas trek

Overseas trek - Great Wall of China If you're looking for the challenge of a lifetime, and have always dreamed of far-flung places why don’t you take part in our next overseas trek?

'This is the most I have pushed myself since starting to recover from M.E. and I was worried about the effects.  So far they have been very minor considering what I put my body through.  It has made me even more positive about my health – I actually felt "normal" again!' 
Emily Bingham, Action for M.E. Sinai trekker

In our last trek, seven people, aged 17 to 70, trekked across the Sinai desert.  Was their favourite moment sleeping under the stars? Or the amazing scenery of the sandstone desert? Or seeing the sunrise from the top of Mount Sinai?  No, it was teaching their Bedouin guides how to sing 'heads, shoulders, knees and toes' complete with the actions! 

If you are interested in taking part in one of next year's treks then let us know.  Minimum sponsorship is usually around £2,500.
