Are you an Individual, Corporate or Charity interested in having your own private group departure?
If yes, please email info@charitychallenge.com and one of our team will be in touch to help with your enquiry.
Your challenge will begin at Glasgow’s Central train station. You will be met by your challenge leaders and will have the opportunity to meet the rest of your team before we transfer you to the base camp in Glen Lyon.
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 and how we intend to use the trek to enhance your own wellbeing and address the stigma of mental ill health in your workplace. Geoff McDonald, Global Advocate and Campaigner, will share with us his own wellbeing journey and why addressing stigma has become his sole purpose in life, since leaving Unilever.
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.

Today’s trek takes in one of the most remote sections of the Rob Roy Way National Trail. This trail stretches almost 100 miles through the southern Highland’s as it follows the footsteps of the infamous Scottish outlaw Rob Roy. Starting on the banks of Loch Tay the route heads east, along remote Glen Almond before finishing at another loch, Loch Freuchie.
Accommodation: Camping. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Today's walk is the most remote and wild of the entire challenge as we create a circular route around the four major mountains of Glen Lyon. Situated right in the heart of the Glen the route takes you to the northern slopes of the Glen as it climbs to the summit of Carn Gorm before heading east. These are remote hills, with incredible views of the surrounding highlands. In places the footpath can feel indistinct, in true Scottish fashion, but your mountain leaders will keep you on the correct path as we summit three more “Munro’s” before descending back down into Glen Lyon.

Our final day of trekking will see us reaching the summit of one of the highest mountains in the UK, Ben Lawers. At 1,214m above sea level, this towering mountain provides a classic mountain challenge and will make this the toughest day of the trek, so we will need all our remaining energy to make it to the finish point and celebrate our achievements.
Ben Lawers is located directly above our campsite for the week, so it will feel like a fitting end to our challenge as we reach the summit and look out over views that take in the route you have taken over the past week.
Upon returning to our campsite we will be able to celebrate with the whole team as we contemplate what we have achieved together.
Accommodation: Camping. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
After a final breakfast we will say goodbye to everyone knowing that we will have formed new friendships that are sure to last a lifetime, learnt ways to protect your wellbeing, have become ambassadors and advocates to addressing the stigma of mental ill health, and finally have raised vital funds for Minds at Work.
A bus transfer will return everyone to Glasgow’s central train station where you will be free to depart and make your way home.
