Located roughly in the centre of Northern England is a beautiful area of valleys and hills. These hills are fairly rugged, with steep sides, exposed cliff edges and several peaks over 600m. Added to the natural beauty of this national park are age-old human influences, with remains of ancient settlements, scenic farms and villages, field-barns and classic limestone walls. We take the challenge of climbing 3 of these peaks, covering 24 miles in one day.

Register your interest below…

  1. Self Funding: Just like a standard holiday! You pay the initial registration deposit online, and then the final balance of the trip cost (+ any fuel surcharge imposed by the airline) – which is invoiced 12 weeks prior to departure.
  2. Charity Sponsorship: You pay the registration deposit online & fundraise at least twice the amount of the final trip cost balance. The MSA Trust pays the final balance from this fundraising, and 80% of your fundraising target needs to be us 12 weeks prior to departure (and all balances by 4 weeks after return). Any airline imposed fuel surcharge will be invoiced to you – 12 weeks prior.
  3. A mix of ‘Self Funding’ & ‘Charity Sponsorship’. You pay the registration deposit online and ‘split’ the final balance with your chosen charity. Your fundraising target is lower (compared to ‘Charity Sponsorship’) as you also pay a ‘final balance’ 12 weeks prior to departure.
