Take your fundraising to the next level and push your limits on an unforgettable adventure along one of Britain’s most historic landmarks — Hadrian’s Wall. This breathtaking trek combines Roman history, rugged landscapes, and personal achievement, all in support of Royal Voluntary Service.

Your journey begins at Lanercost Priory, where you’ll meet your expert Global Adventure Challenges team and fellow trekkers. On day one, hike 14 miles through Northumberland National Park, surrounded by rolling hills and remnants of ancient Roman ruins.

On day two, follow in the footsteps of history as you walk beside Hadrian’s Wall, passing Roman forts and temples, including a fascinating mithraeum, before completing your 11-mile trek. At the finish line, celebrate your success knowing you’ve raised vital funds to help Royal Voluntary Service volunteers support those who need them most across Britain.

Are you ready to step back in time and take on this iconic challenge for a cause that changes lives?
