18th - 25th September 2009
How far can you can go in 2009? Register for this exhilarating Challenge in the remote wilderness of Namibia's Damaraland! Push your emotional, physical and mental limits:
- trek 100 km across stunning terrain
- conquer one of the world's last great wildernesses
- camp out under the stars and discover the true Africa
- raise money to help Fredericks Foundation give disadvantaged people the opportunity to build an independent future
Lynne and Fiona were inspired to put together this adventure of a lifetime after their amazing charity trek in Namibia last year. "We really wanted to enable other people to experience a similar physical, emotional, and mental challenge, while raising money to help disadvantaged people"
This year's Challenge will be four and a half spectacular days in the remote wilderness of Damaraland, a scenic region of Namibia, rich in natural beauty and wildlife. The trekking will be across sand dunes, gravel plains, rocky terrain and sandy riverbeds with beautiful views as far as the eye can see. At night we will sit round the camp fire and enjoy the most amazing night skies. Faan and his experienced Namibian team will provide all the support we need to help us through the trek. The Challenge will be tough but exhilarating and the sense of achieving something so great will stay with you for a long time. Conquering one of the world's last great wildernesses will be a totally liberating experience.
