Discover Adventure has been running safe, enjoyable trips all over the world since 1994 ... but we haven't ignored what's on our doorstep in that time!
We have built up a great portfolio of trips in the UK and Europe - all of which deliver a tough but achievable challenge, and the inspiring, confidence-boosting sense of achievement that our trips have become known for.
There are many advantages to holding a fundraising challenge in the UK or Europe
Lower costs help your budget; the resulting lower registration fees and fundraising targets appeal to your supporters
Less time away from home makes a challenge more practical for many people
Broaden your range of supporters: offer different types of challenges, such as triathlons, water-sports, running events, family events ... we have the knowledge and experience to put anything together for you safely and professionally
Raise your profile by holding your challenge events here in the UK! Use your regional offices and contacts! Get maximum publicity and local awareness!
Depending on the type of event and the potential environmental impact, many UK challenges can be developed into mass participation, 'open-to-all' events
Flexible & tailor-made to your requirements - we are always happy to tailor itineraries, or plan brand-new ones, based on your ideas or regional links
Europe hosts many regions for inspiring, challenging events, without the need to encroach on touristed areas or those associated with holidaying!
A few of our classic European Challenges:
Mount Toubkal Trek - Morocco
Sahara Trek, Morocco
Icecap Trek, Iceland
Carpathian Mountain Trek, Romania
London Paris Cycle Challenge
Paris Geneva Cycle Challenge
Classic Alps Cycle Challenge
Arctic Survival Challenge
Dog-Sledding Challenge, Sweden
These trips - and the many others we can arrange - are all very varied, but all fit into a week off work or less, making them very appealing to your supporters.
They can also be tailored into effective team events, making them appealing for your corporate sponsors or fundraising groups.
Here are just a few of the popular 2-4 day challenges we organise here in the UK:
Peak District Trek
Hadrians Wall Trek
Lake District Trek / Triathlon
Offas Dyke Trek
Brecon Beacons Trek / Triathlon Challenge
Snowdonia National Park Trek
Channel Islands Sailing Challenge
With the exception of our Sailing Challenge, UK weekend events have very few restrictions on group size (except where safety and responsible tourism are concerned), so are a very effective and flexible way to maximise your fundraising income.
We are continually planning new events of this nature, so please contact us if you would like more ideas.
With our knowledge and experience, we are always able to put new trips together quickly and safely.
These events are very easy to adapt to: - suit family or multi-events - link with your regional offices - involve existing projects - enable team-building or team competitions
We are always happy to meet up to discuss ideas, how to make your event different, and what would best suit your supporter base.
1-Day Events are very popular with charity supporters, because of their low impact on home commitments, low costs and low fundraising demands.
We design our 1-Day events to be: - highly flexible for you as a charity - suitable for large groups and late registrations - easily adaptable to corporate team-building events and friendly competitions!
Planning a one-day challenge event in the UK has many similarities to planning a ten-day event anywhere in the world.
The success of your event depends on: - Good planning and logistical forethought - Professional, experienced leaders and assistants - Safety in all weathers and conditions - Calm, experienced leadership in the event of a problem - Good communication before and during an event
You, your reputation and your supporters are in safe hands with our experienced team!
