Is this trip for me?
YES! Most people embarking on this trip will have never done anything like this before and will be just like you! Some people choose to bring friends or family but most come alone and make a whole host of new friends along the way!
How fit do I need to be?
You don't need to be a fitness fanatic to do this event. The majority of people who take part will be just like you and will not necessarily have done anything like this before. However, the days where you will be trekking can be long and to get maximum enjoyment from this challenge, training is vital and you will be provided with a detailed training plan which we strongly recommend you stick to. There will also be someone on hand every step of the way to provide training advice.
How much do I have to raise?
£2,500
Will I be able to raise the sponsorship level?
YES! Once you have started you will find that raising the minimum sponsorship is easy and most importantly fun! You will be provided with a breakdown of examples of how to raise the sponsorship money in an enjoyable way and we will of course be available every day to help you with more ideas! You are doing something quite simply amazing so make sure you tell everyone you know, and before you know it you will be racing towards your fundraising target!
What deposit do I have to pay?
£299
Can I extend my trip?
It is usually possible to extend your stay after the trip for a small administration charge (subject to availability), giving you the opportunity to explore some of this stunning country in your own time! Please contact our tour operator Skyline for more details.
Will you help me?
YES! One of the highly experienced tour reps from our tour operator will be on hand to help you in the lead up to the event. You will be sent a full confirmation pack shortly after you register on the trek which will give you all the information you need but we are always here to make the event as enjoyable and hassle free as possible. And there will even be the opportunity to meet your fellow participants at a special gathering before the event!
What is the food like?
Most Icelandic meals you'll experience on the trip will start with a soup then a fine hearty meal consisting of lots of meat and fish.
What do I need to bring?
You'll need to bring with you a sleeping bag and sleeping mat but apart from that our tour operator will be providing everything. You will be sent a full packing list once you've registered.
Will you carry my luggage whilst I'm walking?
YES! Vehicles will take the group to the start of the trek and meet us at the end of each day. The vehicles carry all the luggage, food, water and camping equipment. You'll just need to carry essentials like water, rainwear, suncream and a camera!
How many people can take part?
The average group size is about 40 people although this does vary considerably from trip to trip.
What type of accommodation will I be staying in?
You will be camping whilst actually on the Trek and staying in hotels on your first night and on the two days at the end of the Trek.
What's included in the cost?
Flights and all internal travel, accommodation, all meals (except celebration meal, and lunch and dinner on day 8), water, refreshments, guides, a doctor and medical support.
Is there an age restriction?
You will need to be over 18 but there is no upper age limit. If you are over 65 you will just need to get a medical form signed by your doctor.
What about insurance?
You must have travel insurance cover in order to participate in this challenge. You can either arrange this yourself (as long as your insurance company is aware of the nature of what you are doing and that it is a charity event) or our tour operator can help you arrange this.
