FAQ

What equipment will I need?

We provide all specialist equipment: Down sleeping bags, sleeping mats, jackets, mitts, skis, snowshoes, poles and more. You will just need lots of layers to keep you cosy! 

How fit do I need to be?

This challenge is open to anyone. You do not need to be super fit to take part. In the lead up to the challenge you will need to put in the work build your strength and fitness to prep you for the expedition, but it is entirely achievable and you will get advice and support for our expert guides to make sure you are Arctic ready! 

What training will I get?

There will be training hikes organised in advance of the expedition. You’ll have the opportunity to meet the guides and get hands on with some of the kit, as well as the others taking part in the challenge with you! You’ll also get advice on a fitness plan and what strength to build for the challenge ahead.  

Will I receive support with my fundraising?
