Education Is The Answer To Poverty.
In 2008 we climbed Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. After 8 gruelling hours we finally made it. Last year we took you to the Lake District to take part in the Lake District 6 Peaks challenge 2009... now that was a challenge to remember! We took 10 hours in total and after a gruelling day of climbing and trekking through the beautiful surrounding of the Lake District we managed to climb 4 peaks! It was an amazing weekend.
Have a look at what happened here:
So what are we doing this year I hear you ask??? Well this year we wanted to do something different. Instead of another trek, we thought “let’s go on a cycle challenge”! This year One Cause is taking you to the Forest of Bowland Challenge. The Forest of Bowland is situated in North West of England and covers over 312 square miles of rural Lancashire and North Yorkshire and includes the famous landmark Pendle Hill.
Every year One Cause Challenges organises an event for all those adventure junkies and outdoor lovers. But you don’t need to worry anything, because we will take care of everything for you – all you need to do is be ready to challenge yourself and do something fantastic for a great cause. So are you ready to challenge yourself?
“What’s the Challenge?”
This year One Cause Challenges is challenging you to take part in the Forest of Bowland Challenge 2010 where we will be tackling a 28 mile circuit both on road and off road through the Salter Fell Crossing. This will be an exciting, yet heart racing challenge not for the weak (although you can walk parts of it if you do get too tired!).
You will be cycling through the beautiful surroundings of Lancashire through some breath taking natural moorland and fields. The track itself is of moderate difficulty with some technical rocky sections. Training is definitely required.
“So when is it?”
This year the One Cause Challenge 2010 will be taking place on Friday 10 September – Sunday 12 September. We ask all participants to raise a minimum amount of £250 to help underprivileged people through education. For more information of where your money goes, click here.
“We’ll do everything for you!”
We’ll take you to Lancashire and bring you back, arrange your food and everything! You don’t have to book anything, just pay a small registration fee and we’ll do the rest. We’ll even give you a Kit List of all the essential and optional items to bring with you.
