 About The Event 

This is an Open Challenge so not everyone on the trip will be taking part for the bpf and may be fundraising for other great causes. 

The perfect antidote to a cold, wet British winter is a cold, dry Arctic adventure! Away from the crowds, enjoy mesmerizingly peaceful scenes of frozen lakes and snow-covered pine and spruce forests as we explore the silent wilderness.  

We’ll be snow-shoeing to a remote overnight cabin, pushing ourselves in this harsh but compelling environment, and we’ll also try cross-country skiing and husky-sledding. Staying in traditional log cabins in the woods, we can relax in Finnish saunas and enjoy the incredible night skies.  

If we’re lucky we’ll also see the captivating dance of the Northern Lights. 

“I honestly couldn’t fault this challenge. The whole trip was completely breath-taking -we don’t get much time to stop nowadays and on this trip you get to stop, take in beautiful scenery and enjoy complete silence. It’s an incredible thing to experience, along with some great laughs and working as a team too! Since I’ve got back I haven’t stopped talking about this trip. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done and I highly recommend it. I want to go back and experience it all again!” – Hayley 

“A challenge for the body and a balm for the soul. Our Arctic Adventure was everything we’d hoped for”- Rebecca
