Walking distances suitable for every fitness and experience level
Set against the picturesque backdrop of South Wales’ Abergavenny area, mark your calendars for Saturday, June 8th, and get ready for an adventure tailored to every fitness level.
This isn’t just about the hike—it’s about making a difference. As we traverse the stunning landscapes of Wales, we’re not only raising funds but also shining a light on the plight of young people on the brink of homelessness in the West Midlands. Your participation is crucial in providing them with the vital support they need.
This event offers a unique opportunity for team building whilst advancing your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.
This route spans 8 miles with 1 hill of 486m. It boasts incredible views and is perfect for beginners. It is said locally that the Earth from Skirrid Fawr is sacred, being spread in the foundations of many historical buildings nearby.
Also inclusive of Skirrid, this route includes Twyn yr Allt and spans 15 miles, with 2 hills of 468m and 341m. In this area, you can see evidence of an Iron Age Hillfort from about 2000 years ago- defensive ditches which surrounded Celtic villages.
Also inclusive of Skirrid and Twyn yr Allt, our longest route spans 23 miles, with 3 hills of 468m, 341m and 596m. Sugar Loaf provides a spectacular backdrop to the market town of Abergavenny with panoramic views across South Wales, the Brecon Beacons and into south-west England from its peak.
The views from each of these summits are stunning, making for great photo opportunities, as well as the joy of reaching a shared goal with your colleagues and other companies sharing similar values.
Remember to use code H4HEARLYBIRD for 10% off your registration until March 31st!
Check out what our charity partners, Richborough, have to say about the Hike for Homeless:
Your participation will directly contribute to providing shelter, education, and essential support services for young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
Our services include:
Every pound raised will be utilized to provide safe housing, educational support, counselling, life skills training, and employment opportunities, ensuring that our young people have a real chance to thrive.
Throughout the Hike, you will find many chances to rest and soak in the views at our strategic checkpoints.
We provide not only water and energy treats, but we have the most amazing marshals you will ever meet! There are no markers on this challenge- just a map/picture guide and/or GPS to guide you through. If in doubt- always ask a marshal.
There will be many chances to celebrate your success post-hike, including a massive community barbecue at a local pub, the Three Pools, who are pulling out all the stops for Team St Basils.
Want to rest in Wales? The Three Pools also have great accommodation, so please check out their Three Pools accommodation page.
