This year’s challenge will be taking place along the iconic scenery of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset.  The whole stretch of coastline is 95 miles (don’t worry… you won’t be walking the full length!)  It is renowned for it’s breathtaking natural beauty and geological significance and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Steep dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and panoramic views make it a stunning (and challenging) location for this year’s challenge.

Please make sure that you have OS Explorer OL15 with you.

Below are the routes for you to download as PDF and GPX files for your devices.  You will need to upload the GPX to a navigation app like OS Maps / Komoot / Strava etc

Teams will be accommodated in hotels in Bournemouth, all of which are in walking distance to the party venue – Bournemouth Pavilion Theatre.  Teams will be assigned a hotel closer to the time.

We will have a selection of ready to go social media templates so that you can easily share your involvement in the challenge with your friends, family and contacts. You can keep your supporters up-to-date with the challenge you’re undertaking, as well as encourage donations from your networks by posting throughout your journey.
