This is an event I'm undertaking and i thought I'd let you know the details.

.....................................

The challenge is called the ‘Arctic Heroes Challenge’ and will take place in January 2013. It involves driving from the UK and crossing the Arctic Circle at 66 33’ 39” N in the northern region of Norway and pushing further north to reach Nordkapp (North Cape). This final destination is Europe’s northernmost point on land at 71 01’08”N leaving only the Svalbard Islands to separate us from the Polar Ice Cap in the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole itself. The round trip will be in the region of 4700 miles and take around 14 days.

The challenge will take place at the most treacherous time of the year when temperatures are normally averaging minus 20deg Celsius. If that was hard enough we plan to wild camp on route as we make our way to the northern tip of Europe. We believe this challenge embraces the true spirit of true British adventure and will directly benefit real Heroes.

The sole charity to benefit from the Arctic Heroes Challenge to the Arctic Circle will be Help for Heroes.

We are taking on this challenge and hope to collectively raise around £50,000. To achieve this we plan to target our network of friends & family, the general public and businesses with a fund raising campaign beginning early next year.

..........................

I wont put the links in for donations but if you would like more details please feel to ask.
