From short walks throughout the UK countryside to epic mountain treks all over the globe.
Our treks and trails partner, Discover Adventure, provide a great selection of unforgettable adventures. Take a look at our popular treks below – treks are categorised into three colour grades to provide guidance on which option is right for you.
2 Days | UK
Snowdon by Night is a yellow-graded level 2 challenge, ideal for those who want moderate distances and non-technical terrain.
Two payment options: fundraising and full payment.
9 Days | Jordan
The Trek to Ancient Petra is an orange-graded level 1 challenge, the terrain gets hillier, the distances get longer and the days get tougher.
Three payment options: fundraising, part-payment and full payment.
18 Days | Nepal
The Everest Base Camp Trek is a red-graded level 2 challenge. Red-graded treks take the challenge level up another notch – you’ll experience long, hard days, often incorporating the additional challenge of trekking at altitude. It’s likely you’ll be camping, so a lack of home comforts might really push you to your limits, but it is all part of the experience!
Three payment options: fundraising, part-payment and full payment.
Lisa Redgrave recently supported St Giles Hospice by taking on a life-changing trek through Petra. We hope Lisa’s story inspires others to participate in a trekking challenge!
If you’ve signed up to a challenge, make sure to let us know so we can support your fundraising journey! Email fundraising@stgileshospice.com or call 01543 434751.
Yellow graded challenges are ideal for those who want moderate distances and non-technical terrain.
Orange graded challenges increase in difficulty as the terrain gets hillier, the distances get longer and the days get tougher.
Red graded challenges are the toughest, you’ll experience long, hard days, often incorporating the additional challenge of trekking at altitude.
You’ll be provided with a full kit list tailored to your trek of choice upon sign up.
Discover Adventure strongly recommends that you arrange purchasing travel insurance at the point of booking, if not, within 6 months of the trip departure. If anything prevents you from taking part in your chosen challenge, you will only be covered if you have adequate insurance in place.
Discover Adventure outlines that your insurance should cover you for all of activities that are included in your chosen challenge (including maximum height for altitude treks) as well as evacuation and repatriation. Look carefully at what cancellation cover is included to ensure you’re happy with that: free or very basic insurance packages have limited cover. By and large you really do get what you pay for so ensure you have the cover you want.
Insurers now regard Covid-19 as a ‘known event’ so it’s important to ensure your policy gives you cover specifically for this. More policies are emerging that include this and as always it’s important that you read all the detail and are happy with the level of cover before you purchase it.
