There for You 2016 Pyrenean charity challenge
30 miles in three days walking in the stunning Pyrenees
22 – 26 September 2016
We will be based throughout the event at a three star hotel in the small French town of Amelie Les Bains at the foot of the Pyrenees. Transport will be arranged to and from the start and finish of each days walk so we will not have to keep packing and unpacking bags every day. Each day’s walking has been planned so we walk in as varied terrain as possible and we will experience trekking through phenomenal countryside to parts of route walking up to 1335 metres high.
New for 2016 – we are planning to travel right across France by Eurostar on either the outward or return journey so that we can enjoy views of the beautiful French countryside.
What’s included
- Return Travel from and to the UK

- 4 Dinners and breakfasts
