Encouraging those who wish to enhance their experience of wild
places through challenging team events, whilst raising money for
worthwhile charities in the process.
Welcome to events and activities...
We are an organisation committed to raising funds
for charity by running challenging outdoor endurance events for
people like you.
The company was
founded in 1999 to offer truly testing outdoor events in Scotland and
other areas of the world including Australia and the Alps. Every event raises funds for
designated charities and each is uniquely designed to test teams and individuals in different
ways, giving the participants a hugely rewarding experience.
2007 sees the addition of new events to our already busy annual calendar. We
hope that you will find this website a useful introduction and we are
happy to help should you need any advice or encouragement.
