Challenge and Charity Hikes

We lead walks for groups and businesses who are seeking to take on a hiking challenge, including those looking to raise money for charity.

Whether you are looking to test yourself on exhilarating and exposed mountains, take on iconic endurance hikes such as the Yorkshire Three Peaks, or complete a long-distance trail, we have you covered.

We guide a number of well-known and bespoke challenges across the UK, for groups from 6 to 100 people. I like to see as much money as possible going to the charity you are supporting, and as such we have a discounted rate for full day hikes, starting at £49+VAT per person for a full-day event such as the Yorkshire Three Peaks.

This includes:

Professionally qualified and insured guides for the entire group (with a minimum of 1 guide per 10 people on the route, plus support)
For larger groups, a support vehicle checkpoint at one or two stops on the route
Pre-event Zoom/Teams briefings for participants,
A customised FAQ for the event and access to information guides for participants (e.g. training routes, what to wear, etc)
We are also on hand for any questions and consultancy for setting up the event at your end

We don’t include:

Transport for participants to and from the walk start
Post-walk meal, drinks and accommodation (though we can provide recommendations)

Please contact us to speak to us about guiding your event, or check our calendar and book in below.

Our Favourite Challenge Hike Routes

Which challenge should you take on? We are always up for new routes and challenges if you have something new in mind, but if you are looking for some inspiration, here are some of our favourites.

Yorkshire Three Peaks, Yorkshire Dales

A legendary route, and for good reason. This is a long and arduous hike, covering 40km and climbing over 1500m throughout the day. But where this route really shines is in its gorgeous Yorkshire Dales setting and its three distinctive and iconic mountains: Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. The target time for the challenge is 12 hours - I would recommend taking this one on between March and early October, unless you fancy walking in the dark!

Derbyshire Three Peaks, Peak District

A stone’s throw from Manchester, this challenge walk tackles three of the highest points in the Peak District. With 833m of ascent throughout the day, and covering over 30km, this challenge tests you to the limit on the wild and arduous terrain of Kinder Scout, Higher Shelf Stones and Bleaklow, but offers incredible views and hidden history buried in the desolate moors.

Wharfedale Three Peaks, Yorkshire Dales

A quieter alternative to the traditional Yorkshire Three Peaks, this route circles the absolutely stunning and verdant Upper Wharfedale. With almost 30km to cover in the day, and climbing 1205m, you’ll visit the lesser-known, yet still-towering and spectacular summits of Birks Fell, Great Whernside and Buckden Pike. The sometimes-pathless and occasionally arduous terrain is more than made up for with the stunning views of the ‘other’ Yorkshire Three Peaks, and all the way to the North Yorks Moors and Lake District fells on a clear day.

Howgills 10 Peaks Challenge, Yorkshire Dales

Nestled between the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District, this route through the undulating Howgills offers an incredibly challenging day out. Covering 35km and climbing 1800m over the course of 14 hours, you’ll take on several seldom-visited summits throughout a day that will test your endurance to the limit.
