Note for group organisers

We have put together many inspiring and challenging trips all over the world since 1994. We can always offer group organisers a greater choice of itineraries than those we are running at any given time, and have a wide selection to suit your preferred time of year, level of difficulty and budget.

If you represent a charity, business or simply a group of friends and would like to organise your own ‘bespoke’ group challenge, please click here to see the wide choice we can offer you, in addition to the trips listed under View All Challenges.
