Trekking

Treks are a fantastic way to see some of the most beautiful places in the world. Why not visit somewhere you have always wanted to, whilst raising money to help improve the lives of millions of people with hearing problems?

You can take part in an amazing adventure while raising funds to help people affected by hearing problems. All you have to do is pay a registration fee and raise a minimum sponsorship. You will get transport, accommodation, food, any training you might need and of course and lots of fundraising ideas.

Deafness Research UK works with companies that organise lots of different team challenges.  Below are the wide range of events currently available. 

Hadrian's Wall Weekend Trek

Hadrian’s Wall originally ran from coast to coast and spanned 72 miles. Today we are left with only sections of this famous landmark, which cuts though the beautiful Northumberland National Park.

Starting at Lanercost Priory, you trek for 25 miles alongside the only remaining sections of the wall, admiring ancient monuments, beautiful scenery and the skill of the Roman engineers who built this famous landmark, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
