Take on an incredible day of trekking, biking and kayaking in the stunning Lake District for Deafblind UK
This unique multi-discipline challenge pits you against the spectacular adventure playground of the Lake District National Park.
Test yourself in the off-road mountain bike trails of Grizedale forest, before trekking to the summit of one of the Lake District’s most breathtaking peaks, the Old Man of Coniston. Finally, you will take up a paddle and kayak across the iconic Coniston Water to the finish line to celebrate your achievements.
All mountain biking and kayak equipment is included, and you’ll be supported every step of the way by fully-qualified Mountain Leaders, mechanics and kayak instructors.
Not only will you make unforgettable memories and new friends on the way, you’ll have raised vital funds to support deafblind people too!
What’s included?
- Full challenge management before, during and post event
- All equipment hire including mountain bikes, helmets, kayaks and life jackets
- Experienced and fully-qualified Mountain Leaders, cycling leaders, mechanics and kayak instructors
- Packed lunch, as well as drinks and snacks throughout the day
- Breakfast before the challenge
- Accommodation during the challenge
- Access to support materials, training notes and fundraising advice
- Exclusive discounts on kit with Charity Challenge partners
Fundraising options:
With £3 million needing to be raised each year to fund Deafblind UK’s full range of services, the difference your support makes cannot be overstated. Every £25 that you raise could pay for another hour of specialist wellbeing support for someone who is deafblind.
Once you’ve decided to take on the Lake District Triple Challenge, there are two ways to fund your entry:
- Minimum Sponsorship – Pay a £85 registration fee when you book. Then, raise a minimum of £480 for Deafblind UK.
- Self-funder – Pay a £85 registration fee when you book. Then, pay a balance of £235 (9 weeks before your challenge) and simply raise as much as you can for Deafblind UK!
