Story

To mark the centenary of the end of the First World War this trek provides a unique perspective as we walk between the prominent battle-sites, often following the lines that divided German and Allied forces. There are beautiful views over the now-tranquil countryside, but as we walk along the hill-ridges and through the fields and woodland, it is all-too-easy to imagine events of the past.

This is a poignant experience as well as a physical challenge – a memorable and meaningful way to raise funds for today's Service men and women, veterans, and their families.
