Chilterns Challenge

You will receive a warm welcome when you arrive at the registration point and meet your trek leaders and your fellow trekkers in your group. Your trek leader will run through a full safety briefing and then it will be time to begin!

The 42km route begins by following the mighty River Thames south and you will pass the gorgeous villages of Goring, Streatley and Whitchurch before turning away from the river and heading into the Chiltern hills, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. Here the terrain will become increasingly undulating which will be sure to start to test you.

After 17km those who have selected the 25km route will join and we shall continue as one group.

After passing numerous idyllic Oxfordshire country houses and estates, we will reach The Ridgeway, a prehistoric route that has a claim to be Britain's oldest road. Our section is particularly spectacular as the 'ridge' is very clearly defined.

The final stretch of the route takes us back along the River Thames to where you began the day.

Here we will be greeted with a celebratory medal to mark our achievement.
