Day 1, Fri 08 Oct 2021

Day 1: Arrival and Briefing

The base for this challenge is in the newly refurbished YHA The Sill, located along Hadrian’s Wall itself. This hostel has been specially designed to be environmentally conscious and also serves as the visitors centre for the Northumberland National Park.

You will need to plan to arrive at the accommodation by 5pm on Friday evening.
This will give you plenty of time to get settled in before dinner at approximately 6pm.

Following dinner there will be a comprehensive welcome and safety briefing where everyone will have the opportunity to meet each other and your challenge leaders.
It is vital that you attend the Friday evening safety briefing, so please plan your travel accordingly.

Day 2, Sat 09 Oct 2021

Day 2: The Challenge begins!

Everyone is sure to be feeling a little bit nervous on Saturday morning but after a hearty breakfast those nerves will soon be replaced by excitement! The trek will begin at 6am. Ahead of us will be approx. 12 hours of stunning scenery. 

With your experienced trekking leaders there to support you, you will work together as a team to complete this endurance event. The route will include the iconic section along the spectacular escarpment that passes sycamore gap and Housesteads roman fort with dramatic views of Hadrian’s Wall stretching into the distance.

Your challenge is to keep trekking for 12 hours of walking before celebrating completing the challenge with a team dinner back at the YHA before saying goodbye to friends who you'll have shared this incredible experience with.
