Story
As part of Brain Tumour Awareness Month, CamperKing team members have signed up to climb Ben Nevis on Sunday 1st May 2022 to raise funds for our chosen charity, OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity.
The challenge will see us taking the pony track up the mountain from the Glen Nevis Hostel, which is a 17km walk up and down ascending to 1345 metres at the summit.
If you’re able to, we strongly encourage you to donate to our efforts in raising funds for OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity. Any amount helps!

"I've never climbed or camped before, but I love trying new experiences, so this will definitely be a first for me! I'm also excited to see how much money we can raise for charity."
About the charity
