Help us to celebrate our 10th anniversary, and raise much-needed funds, by taking part in one of our 2008 Challenges!
You can take part in any/all(!) of the following events:

Saturday May 10th
Tandem Parachute Jump
Imagine standing at the edge of an open aircraft doorway, flying at 10,000 feet, the noise of the engines in your ears. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - freefalling at over 120mph harnessed to a professional parachute instructor. Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air.

Friday May 30th – Sunday June 1st
Three Peaks Challenge
The Three Peaks Challenge walk involves climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales - Scarfell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon - in one weekend.
