CHX Challenge

23/06/2024

Very special few days hiking 3 peaks in 3 countries over 3 days with Last Night A DJ Saved My Life. A small but perfectly formed bunch of fit and experienced hikers who threw themselves in to everything the weather could give us. The charity raises much needed funds to support grassroots projects that make a difference in the lives of children and young people in the UK and Developing Countries through the power of music and art. Amazing charity and fantastic bunch of hikers. Thank you all for your enthusiasm - we could not have enjoyed it more ❤️

Dear Friends and family,

I am rasing money for the incredible charity that is Jamie's Farm and wonder if you would possibly help support? So many children are at risk of exclusion, for the reason that they don't have the upbringing and support that we have all enjoyed. If excluded, their lives will almost certainly be transformed for the worse.

It's a 2-day team points trail race again this October, with Andy Holmes Elliot Lake Katherine Wood Tim Welch and Charlie Charlesworth and we have to cover as much altitude and distance in 2 days on the Mont Blanc massif. MOST importantly though we score points through fundraising for our chosen charity.

Please help!! 🙏 I promise this is the last time I will ask for a very long time.

NB. GivenGain is a new not-for-profit platform that we are making our CHX Challenge partner, where profits are ploughed back into charity. We hope you will embrace it like we have. It is incredibly easy to use.

Hi! I need your help!I'm raising money for the truly wonderful work that Jamie's Farm does in transforming the lives young people who are at very high risk of exclusion.  These children invariably come from very tough environments, receiving nothing like the support and opportunity that we all bene...

The humble refuge 🛏

From basic winter huts to hotel-style dormitories, the mountain refuge offers protection from the elements, a bed, a glass of wine or a beer, often a nice meal and sometimes even a hot shower.

These little gems are scattered across the Alps and they are a very welcome sight to many hikers and alpinists. They are also a favourite stopping place for many of our groups after long days in the mountains.

With their own unique character and etiquette, based on years of climbing culture and respect for the spaces in which they are perfectly positioned, they are a pleasure to share with our guests.

We are excited to share two special refuges, in a quiet valley near Chamonix, with a group from in just one month (9-13 June).

If you fancy a little getaway and some real escapism for a few days, contact me to find out more!

See you in the refuge ☺️
