Action Challenge will take care of all aspects of your trip and Backup will be here to provide you with fundraising support. The Overseas Challenges are operated to the highest standards, with the best local logistics teams, and our own UK mountain leader ensuring all runs to plan & a qualified expedition medic to oversee the group’s wellbeing.

What are the costs?

An online Registration Deposit is required to secure your place on this challenge. Once registered, there are 3 payment options available to cover the remaining cost of your trip.

SELF FUNDING:

You pay the registration deposit, and then the full final balance directly to Action Challenge. You can then raise any amount of sponsorship you would like for Backup North West.  

CHARITY SPONSORSHIP:

You pay the registration deposit & fundraise twice the amount of the final balance.

Backup will pay Action Challenge the final balance from this fundraising and then the remaining amount will go to Backup.

MIXED FUNDING:

A bit of both. You pay the deposit and split the final balance with Backup.

You will need to fundraise twice the amount that Backup is due to pay.
