PRICES INCLUDE ALL KNOWN AIR TAXES
We include ALL known air taxes (including fuel) at the time of costing. Many companies do not include air taxes at all, and clients are therefore hit with a surcharge of three or four hundreds of pounds just before departure. If the air taxes increase between the time of costing and your departure, we will absorb up to £50 (depending on the challenge) before passing on any increased costs. Our aim is to provide you with transparent pricing and clear instructions as to what is included in our prices and if applicable what isn't.

The typical group size is 14 - 30 participants

SMALL GROUP SUPPLEMENT
The costs and sponsorship levels on our website are based on a minimum of 14 participants. We can run this trip with as few as 8 people, but there will be a small group supplement. This is payable by your charity if you book under the Minimum Sponsorship option, and by yourself if you choose the Self Funder option. We will notify you 12 weeks before departure if this is necessary.
