Thank you for signing up to the Housebuilder Challenge 2025! Although we can’t promise sunshine, we can promise glorious scenery and a rewarding experience we are sure you will enjoy.

All teams will need to register before the challenge so that we can run through a safety and radio briefing with you. All team members need to be present for this! At the end of the hike we will head for a gala dinner and prize giving where teams will celebrate their immense achievement.

Physically and mentally this is a tough challenge, so you’ll need to be well prepared! When it’s over you will have a huge sense of achievement, both in knowing you have succeeded in completing the challenge but also that your team will have raised £2,000 for the Youth Adventure Trust’s work with vulnerable young people.

All participants must complete a Medical & Personal Details form before the challenge. Please click here to enter your details.

A GPX is a navigational file that you can upload to your device which will then show you the route on a map, but also where you are along the route. To get this follow the instructions below:-

• Download the GPX file below – it is in a Zip folder so you will need to “extract’ the file (right click on the zip file and click “Extract all”)
