Pit yourself against one of the toughest challenges that the UK has to offer, as you take on a 42km trek along a remote section of the South Downs National Trail. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the South Downs National Park you will put mind and body through the ultimate test, as you tackle this serious endurance challenge. Walking this route is a serious undertaking.
Your challenge will start from Eastbourne, taking in stunning coastal views from Beachy Head before heading up and over the incredible clifftops of the Seven Sisters. From here we’ll follow the Cuckmere River to the village of Alfriston before heading up the tough climb to the highest point of the trek – Firle Beacon. After admiring fantastic views of the South Downs, we’ll head down to the small village of Falmer to celebrate our achievements at the finish before heading home.
During the challenge, you will be led by our experienced support leaders who will be there to motivate and support you along the way.
Not for the faint-hearted, this is a tough endurance challenge and should not be undertaken lightly, however, the sense of achievement is tremendous. The terrain is extremely varied and anyone undertaking this challenge should be comfortable walking similar distances.
