Between Friday 7th March 2025 and Thursday 13th March 2025, two intrepid adventurers will be joining a team of six others from across the built environment to take on The Arctic Challenge 2025 to raise money for The O'Brien Charitable Trust.

This challenge is completely different to everything you know. Our adventurers, Anthony Watson and Andrew Foster, will live an Arctic wilderness lifestyle over 7 days, without electricity, running water or a flushing toilet. They will drive a team of loyal huskies through 180km of snow-covered forests of the Swedish Lapland in freezing temperatures.

Experiencing the silence of nature as they glide through this winter wonderland, while taking the opportunity to spot elk, moose, and reindeer with the potential to see the spectacular Northern Lights.

The adventure begins in Kiruna, Sweden’s northernmost city, situated 145kms north of the Arctic Circle. The region is home to the Sami people, and the adventurers will learn about their culture including spending the night in a Sami tee pee.
