Your challenge will begin at Porthclais Farm just outside of the UK’s smallest city of St David’s.
After settling into your tents, you will then get to meet all the challenge leaders and support team at the all-important welcome and safety briefing. This will be where your leaders explain everything you need to know about the next few days ahead, including what to take with you on the trek each day. It will also be your opportunity to ask any questions and get to know the team. It will then be early to bed, excited about the adventure ahead.

After a hearty breakfast it will be time to put on our hiking boots and hit the trail! This is no easy introduction as our trek begins right from our campsite. The route heads inland for the first section of the day before reaching the coast at the village of Trefin. From here we head westwards, through the picturesque fishing village of Porthgain before reaching the blue lagoon, an old, flooded quarry with stunning views out across the ocean. From here we head back to the campsite to recharge our batteries with a dinner and a good night’s sleep.

Today's trek sees us heading into St David’s itself. But don’t worry, this is no urban metropolis, but instead a beautiful town that just happens to be the resting place of Wales’s patron saint, St David, who lies in rest in the cathedral. Our trek today is a hit-parade of some of the areas’ most stunning sights. Beginning with St Nan’s Bay and followed by a series of spectacular coves, natural sea arches and views out to Ramsey Island.

Today’s trek involves a bus transfer out to the stunning pebbled beach at Newgale. From here we trek back towards St David’s, passing the beautiful small, secluded harbour village of Solva and Caerfai Bay before we arrive back in St David’s. At the end of the day, if time allows, there will be the opportunity to explore the ‘city’ before returning to the campsite.

Our final day of trekking will see us tackling arguably the toughest day of the entire challenge, a rugged and remote trek on the most remote section of the whole week. You’ll be trekking in the footsteps of the ancient Celts and, with all the teams aiming to complete this section together, you’ll have the support of the whole Coppafeel! family to get you through to the finish!
Upon returning to our campsite, we will be able to celebrate with the whole team as we contemplate what we have achieved together.

After a final breakfast we will say goodbye to everyone having formed new friendships that are sure to last a lifetime whilst raising vital funds for CoppaFeel!’s life saving work.
