3 Great Treks for 2008

These events are designed for ordinary people who want to do something different to support the work of Julian House and the Genesis Trust. Although no technical climbing skills are required for any of the events, some preparation before departure is essential. In each case the trekking element of the trip lasts about five days (9 for Everest Base Camp). In addition to the help and advice, which we provide, there is also a training/briefing weekend, which although not obligatory, most people find very helpful. This normally takes place in the Brecon Beacons.

Further details and full info packs are available from sarah@genesistrust.org.uk or cecilw@julianhouse.org.uk.
