UK City Nightwalk Challenges
Trek Adventure
You don't need to go far for a real adventure, come get involved in a fantastic Trek around the cities of the UK! With plenty of experience organizing night walks around the country (London, Glasgow, Manchester and Bristol - as well as Snowdon, Scafell and Pen Y Fan in the mountains), you'll be in safe hands and our highly professional leaders will make the event stress free as you stroll around the famous landmarks of our cities and mountains making for an unforgettable night. We offer multiple cities, as well as upland and countryside locations. Please ask for your preferred location.
As an example for a typical London Nightwalk - we start on the South Bank. Lap 1 you'll head over Jubille Bridges, towards Trafalgar Square before turning North and heading up and around Covent Garden, before heading back over Waterloo Bridge to the finish. For lap 2 we'll head over Westminster Bridge under the watchful London Eye and past Big Ben then a quick lap of St James's Park before heading back along the Mall to reach Jubilee Bridges. From here it's a final few meters to the finish in preparation for the final lap and the last 5km! The third lap sees us head East towards Borough Market and across London Bridge before heading via the London Monument and a quick photo at the Gherkin. It's then the home straight back over to Blackfriars bridge and home! Expect an event full of laughs and fun as you wind your way across the city raising money for a great cause.

What is a Level 2.0 Trekking Challenge Like?
For this type of challenge - you can expect either distance (up to 12 or 15 miles), or altitude gain - around 700m. But not both! If you climb, then the distance will be less, if you cover the distance, then the altitude gain will be little. Typically conditions underfoot will be good - although there are exceptions to this. If you encounter rough conditions underfoot, then the distance / altitude will be reduced. These events would suit someone of good all round fitness, who takes exercise regularly - without necessarily being of high fitness.
How Fit Do I need to be to join a Level 2.0 ‘Trek’?
You must be active and with moderate fitness level. You should be taking regular exercise, consisting of regular walks and possibly other sports (swimming / football etc.) You should be comfortable in undertaking long country walks of up to 7 hours or 15 miles in the lowland English countryside.
Medical Issues
Please note, it is extremely important for this physical challenge that you are in good health. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions, please consider carefully whether you should be joining the challenge. Please ensure you fill in the booking form accurately and honestly, this is important. In the case of serious conditions (epilepsy, diabetes, heart conditions, recent illness or operations), please discuss the challenge with your GP. Please also ensure you notify us of any allergies or similar.
You should be used to walking reasonable distances each day to contemplate this trek. It requires stamina and good aerobic fitness - but good willpower will also come in handy! Failure to disclose medical conditions is a serious omission - that could have serious repercussions on any of our challenges.
