'I honestly can't say how this challenge has changed my outlook. The other trekkers were wonderful and I met some lovely people. The challenge pushed me past what I thought I could do and the confidence this has given me is fantastic. So much so, I'm continuing with walking and progressing my fitness. And I've signed up for the Borneo challenge in September 2023. Thank you to everyone who made this such a special week.'
- Jane, Jordan Desert Trek overseas charity challenge participant

 

'My friend and I have just returned from a most wonderful and surreal trip to Kenya, Walk on the Wild Side. I cannot praise the organisation and the team who looked after us while we were there.

The whole experience was beyond my wildest dreams and even though I was the weakest link when it came to climbing Mount Longonot, I was never made to feel it. In fact, quite the contrary; I was helped to achieve it, thanks to the support of Elijah, one of the guides.

The food was delicious, plentiful and nutritious, in other words, not basic in my book! OK, the camping side was back to basics, but not more than I was prepared for.

Everyone who came for the challenge was friendly and supportive of everyone else - real team work. Our thanks to each and everyone who worked so hard for us!'
