Important information about this trip

This is an open challenge.  These challenges are organised directly by our tour operator and there will be other people raising money for different charities on the event although we aim to recruit as many people as possible from NDCS.  The tour operator will be looking after the administration of the event and NDCS will be supporting you with your fundraising.  Your sponsorship money will still be paid directly to NDCS.
