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.
