Please introduce yourself…

I’m Jayme Shepherd, National Relationship Manager for Bowelbabe Fund. In March 2026, 34 wonderful trekkers took on the Himalayan Trek organised by Charity Challenge and raised an incredible £236,000 for bowel cancer research.

Why did you choose Charity Challenge to run this challenge?

We chose Charity Challenge because they offered the strongest overall package and level of support compared to other providers. We’ve worked with them before and have consistently had very positive experiences, particularly in how responsive and reliable they are. Their expertise in delivering these kinds of events gave us confidence that our participants would be well looked after from start to finish.

What were you hoping to achieve with the Himalayan Trek?

Our key objectives were to deliver an excellent supporter experience, raise significant funds and increase awareness of Bowelbabe Fund and its mission. We wanted to create an inspiring and well-organised challenge that would appeal to a motivated and engaged group of participants, bringing together individuals who were passionate about the cause. Ultimately, the aim was to combine a rewarding personal experience for trekkers with meaningful fundraising and impact.

How did it go?

The challenge exceeded our expectations in several ways. We had 34 trekkers take part, all of whom successfully completed the challenge and contributed to a fantastic overall experience. Most notably, we surpassed our fundraising target, generating over £235,000 for the charity. The challenge ran smoothly and any problems were dealt with quickly, effectively, and professionally, participants were highly engaged and the atmosphere throughout was extremely positive.

What were your highlights?

One of the biggest highlights was the overall participant experience. Feedback showed that everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trek – not just the physical challenge, but also the sense of community it created. Participants formed strong friendships and connections that will last a lifetime. The incredible scenery and shared achievements added to the experience, making it both memorable and meaningful for everyone involved.

What did Charity Challenge do well?

Charity Challenge delivered excellent support at every stage of the journey. 

  • Pre-challenge: Communication was clear, consistent and timely, ensuring participants felt prepared and confident. Their willingness to host and support webinars was particularly valuable in helping participants get ready. 
  • During the challenge: On-the-ground support was outstanding, with a highly professional and supportive team ensuring safety and a positive experience for all. 
  • Post-challenge: Follow-up communication remained strong, helping us close out the event effectively and maintain engagement with participants.

Testimonial

We would highly recommend Charity Challenge to other charities or corporates looking to deliver a successful fundraising challenge. They provide excellent end-to-end support, create memorable and well-managed experiences and truly understand how to engage participants. Our trekkers not only raised significant funds but also built lasting friendships, enjoyed unforgettable views and came away with a deeply rewarding experience.

TAKING CARE OF YOUR FEET

June 3, 2026

If I could explain exactly why some people get blisters or foot pain and others don’t, this would be a very short article. The reality is far less predictable!

Even experienced walkers can train for months without issue, then wake up on day three of a trek with a blister the size of Mt Vesuvius or sharp foot pain the moment they step out of their tent. You can’t eliminate the risk entirely – but you can stack the odds firmly in your favour…

Train Like You Mean It

There’s no shortcut here. The single most effective thing you can do is spend time on your feet!

The more miles you walk in your boots, the more your feet adapt to pressure, friction, and long days on mixed terrain. This is especially important if you’re preparing for UK conditions, where routes often include hilts, mud, uneven ground and long descents. Well-conditioned feet are far less likely to react badly when the challenge begins.

Get Properly Fitted Boots

A good boot fit is one of the biggest factors in preventing foot problems. It’s always worth going to a specialist outdoor retailer, such as our partner Cotswold Outdoor and getting fitted property. Most people will go up about a size, which allows room for foot swelling and helps prevent your toes from hitting the front of the boot on descents – one of the main causes of painful toenail blisters.

It’s also worth trimming your toenails about a week before your trek. It’s a small detail, but it can make a noticeable difference.

Cotswold Outdoor offer support to Charity Challenge participants through their Explore More scheme. By creating an Explore More account, you gain immediate access to members-only benefits from exclusive offers to extended warranty, and it’s completely free. Sign up here: Explore More | Cotswold Outdoor.

Choosing The Right Waterproofing

Not all boots are equal when it comes to waterproofing, and what you choose should reflect where you’re going. Many experienced leaders still favour full leather boots because they’re durable and can be reproofed repeatedly using products like Nikwax or Grangers Wax. They tend to last longer, especially in consistently wet environments like the UK.

Fabric or membrane-lined boots are tighter and more breathable, which can be more comfortable in warmer climates. The trade-off is that they require more maintenance and generally don’t last as long.

If you’re expecting boggy ground or heavy rain – very possible on UK treks – gaiters are welt worth considering. Just remember they should sit under waterproof trousers, not over them.

Don’t Overlook Insoles

Insoles are often underestimated, but they play a big role in comfort. If a fitter recommends a different footbed, it’s usually for a reason. And when those insoles wear out, replacing them with the same type helps maintain the fit of your boots. Changing them can subtly alter how your foot sits, which may create new pressure points.

Taking them out each evening to dry is also a simple habit that helps keep your boots in better condition. Orthotics can be helpful for specific issues, but they should only be used under guidance from a podiatrist. Changing your foot alignment affects your entire movement pattern, and even a short walk with poor alignment can lead to knee, hip, or back discomfort.

Socks Matter More Than You Think

Socks are one of the easiest things to get right – and one of the most overlooked. A good pair can significantly reduce friction and help manage moisture. Brands like Bridgedale are popular for a reason, but what matters most is finding what works for your feet.

Some people prefer merino blends, others wool or cotton. In hotter climates, toe socks can be surprisingly effective because they reduce friction between the toes.

It’s also worth experimenting with liner socks and carrying a spare pair each day. Changing your socks halfway through a walk and letting your feet air out while you stop for lunch can feet like a complete reset!

Small Adjustments: Lacing and Fit

Sometimes it’s not your boots – it’s how you’re wearing them. If you’re experiencing heel lift or pressure points, adjusting your lacing technique can make an immediate difference. A simple heel lock can stop your foot sliding, while other methods can relieve pressure across the top of your foot.

It’s worth experimenting before your trek so you know what works.

Boots or Trail Shoes?

Boots are often recommended for treks, but they’re not always essential. For example, a summertime long-distance walk in the UK – such as along the South Downs – might suit a lighter trail shoe, depending on your experience and the terrain.

Boots provide more ankle support, but that support can also mean your ankles do less work. If you have time to train, walking
on uneven ground in trail shoes can help build strength and stability in your ankles.

Watch for Early Signs of Foot Pain

If you increase your mileage too quickly, your feet will usually let you know. Pain in the heel or arch can be a sign of planter fasciitis – irritation of the tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. It’s common among walkers who ramp up training too fast.

Simple measures like rolling your foot over a massage ball (or even a cold bottle) or applying SportsTape Kinesiology Tape (KT) can help ease symptoms. Elevating your feet at the end of the day also makes a noticeable difference.

Over-the-counter pain relief can help in the short term, but if pain continues, it’s worth getting proper advice before it becomes a longer-term issue.

Recovery Matters Too

Looking after your feet doesn’t stop when you finish walking for the day. One of the simplest and most effective things you can do is take your socks off, lie back, and elevate your feet for a while. Half an hour with your feet raised helps to reduce swelling, improves circulation and gives your skin a chance to recover.

And when you get home? A bit of proper TLC won’t go amiss. You’ve earned it!

Final Thoughts

Foot issues are one of the most common problems on any outdoor challenge, whether you’re walking in the UK or heading overseas for a Charity Challenge. But most problems don’t come out of nowhere. They build slowly and that means you have opportunities to prevent them.

Put the training in, get your kit right, and pay attention to the small signals early on. It won’t guarantee a problem-free trek, but it will put you in a much stronger position to deal with whatever comes your way!

This 11-day challenge involves 7 days of cycling, covering 450km in total. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll accomplish (and can proudly share with your sponsors):

  • Cycling for around 6-8 hours per day, covering approximately 450kms over 7 days.

I’m thinking of booking, what do I need to know?

For a quick overview of what to consider, we’ve pulled together some advice below – including top tips from our past challengers. For full details, please visit our Saigon to Angkor Wat Bike Ride webpage.

1. Be Ready for Different Cycling Conditions

The Saigon to Angkor Wat Bike Ride offers an incredible opportunity to experience Vietnam and Cambodia from the saddle, but the cycling conditions can be very different from those in the UK. From busy local traffic and narrow roads to steep bridges, tropical heat and lively village routes. Understanding what to expect will help you prepare and feel more confident once your challenge commences!

Top Tips:

  • “The terrain along the route is mostly flat, although there are quite a few bridges over canals and waterways, particularly in the Mekong Delta, which often involve steep gradients and sharp changes in direction. It’s a good idea to shift into your lowest or second-lowest gear as you approach the bridge, and increase the gap between yourself and the rider in front.” – Danny Barden, Challenge Leader
  • “Avoid using cleats unless you’re very experienced with them, as the route involves frequent stops and starts and less experienced riders can struggle to unclip quickly enough.” – James Marriott, Challenge Leader
  • “If you’re used to cycling two abreast on UK roads, be prepared for busier traffic conditions where it’s generally safer to ride in single file, as mopeds, trucks and cars will overtake whenever possible. Avoid the temptation to take photos whilst riding.” – Danny Barden, Challenge Leader
  • “Remember to go at your own pace. There’s no need to rush, especially on your first day cycling. Focus on enjoying the experience and building your stamina gradually”. – Yan Tin Si, Challenge Participant

2. Training For Your Cycle Challenge

Training for the Saigon to Angkor Wat Bike Ride should focus on building endurance and preparing your body for long consecutive days in the saddle. While the terrain is mostly flat, the combination of heat, humidity, exposed roads and daily distances of up to 90km can make the challenge more demanding than many expect!

Your training should focus on:

  • Building cycling stamina for 6–8 hour riding days.
  • Getting comfortable cycling on consecutive days – a weekend of training is a good idea!
  • Improving leg strength, joint strength and balance.
  • Riding in warm weather where possible to prepare for the heat and humidity.
  • Practising gear changes and control on steeper and narrower terrain.

Top Tips:

  • “Despite the relative flatness of the whole route do still make sure to prepare yourself as much as you can for daily distances of up to 90km and in temperatures ranging between the high 30’s – low 40 degrees centigrade coupled with high humidity.” – Danny Barden, Challenge Leader
  • “Train on busy roads so you aren’t overwhelmed by the bigger towns, and train on hot days in the UK.” – Rachel Walker, Challenge Participant
  • “My biggest pre-challenge tip is to ensure you spend plenty of time riding a bicycle and ensure you have covered a distance in a training ride that will be equal to or greater than the distance you will be cycling during one day on the challenge (so roughly 80km). You’d be amazed how many people don’t train for this!” – James Marriott, Challenge Leader

3. Prioritise Comfort, Sun Protection and Hydration

The heat and humidity on the Saigon to Angkor Wat Bike Ride can be just as challenging as the distance itself, so the right kit can make a huge difference to your experience. Padded cycling shorts and gloves are highly recommended for long days in the saddle, while lightweight layers and respectful cover-ups are useful when riding through local villages. (Our Charity Challenge neck buffs are also super handy for dusty roads or used as a sweatband!).

Staying hydrated is essential in the tropical climate, so many riders choose to use water bladders or easily accessible bottles alongside rehydration tablets to help replace lost electrolytes. Strong sun protection is equally important – including high SPF sun cream, lip balm and a cap to wear under your cycle helmet. You can read the full recommended Kit List here.

Top Tips:

  • “My biggest tip during the challenge is to drink more water than you think you need. Before, during and after the ride; it’s not just re-hydration we’re training for, but pre-hydration to ensure our success!” – James Marriott, Challenge Leader
  • “Take a small portable battery powered fan for those moments when you aren’t creating your own breeze and wear lightweight, breathable clothing – cycling shorts are recommended as are short-finger padded mitts. Full sun protection (glasses, sun-cream and ice-cooling neck scarfs/bandanas) will reduce the severity and post-cycle impact of the sun’s rays.” – Danny Barden, Challenge Leader

  • An Endurance Test with Cultural Highlights – “An incredible way of seeing two beautiful countries in one trip. Cycling through rice paddy fields and villages was just amazing. Taking your bike on ferry crossing the Mekong River was also an awesome experience. I would highly recommend this challenge to confident bike riders with a passion for travel.” – Rachel Walker, Challenge Participant
