# Event Details

- **Event Name**:  BEN NEVIS TO LOCH NESS CANOE CHALLENGE
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 01 Sep, 2025 at 08:30 am – Fri, 05 Sep, 2025 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: THE CHALLENGE:

A 100km Canoe Expedition through the Highlands of Scotland. 

Ben Nevis (Fort William, West Coast) to Loch Ness (Inverness East Coat) in 5 days.

You'll endure hardships in incredible places. You'll pick up new life affirming skills. And you'll learn something new about yourself, all the while helping those struggling to help themselves.

Along the way you'll learn various canoe techniques including paddle strategies, and rescue. You'll wild camp along the shores of ancient water ways including  Loch Ness as well as other sections of the Great Glen, and get some wild swimming in. And we'll learn valuable foraging, bush craft, and natural navigation lessons over the challenge.

The one caveat, you must commit to raising as much as you can for a charity close to your heart.

The environment is both stunning and occasionally harsh and the wildlife borne from this remote area includes Red Deer, Otter, Pine Marten, Beaver, White Tailed Eagle, Osprey, Red Squirrel, and a plethora of rare birds, plants, and fungi.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
This challenge is not a holiday. No flash accommodation or spa treatments. This is a real expedition challenge and the going is arduous but achievable for the individual prepared to get themselves in shape.

During the challenge the team will look out for each other. Mirroring the causes we support.

We'll pitch in on camp building. We'll forage for food and firewood. We'll carry the weight of others who might struggle on a given day. We'll chuck in for each other whenever it gets tough.

HOW FIT DO I NEED TO BE? :
You should be moderately fit in order to complete the challenge but it’s always our goal to ensure that you not only complete but enjoy the experience. To that end we'll organise regular team building sessions which you are welcome to participate in free of charge. 

We will cover a lot of miles per day over a duration of 5-7 hours but if your confidence is a little low I have prepared training plans to fit your life commitments and get you where you need to be.

COSTS:
Costs and Fundraising guidelines are available on application (please request an Info Pack for further details).
