The Mighty Hike
A Sponsored Walk with a Difference!
Each year, we invite schools and PTAs to take part in The Mighty Hike — a professionally guided mountain adventure designed as a sponsored walk for students, families, and school communities.
Unlike traditional fundraising walks, The Mighty Hike takes participants to one of the UK’s iconic peaks, offering a real mountain experience with the safety and support of qualified mountain leaders. Parents walk alongside their children, creating a shared challenge that builds resilience, teamwork, and unforgettable memories.
A New Peak Every Year
We keep things fresh and exciting by choosing a different mountain each year:
- 2023 – Ben Nevis
- 2024 – Snowdon
- 2025 – Scafell Pike
Whether you’re a school looking to raise funds or a PTA planning a unique community event, The Mighty Hike is a turnkey adventure that combines outdoor education, physical challenge, and fundraising impact.
Timing & Age Suitability
The Mighty Hike is primarily aimed at Key Stage 2 pupils, but we’re always happy to consider any age group. Having personally led my own son — aged just 5 — up all three national peaks, I understand how slowly young people move and how important it is to give them time.
That’s why we pay our guides for a longer day, ensuring:
- No one is rushed
- Children are given every opportunity to succeed
- Encouragement and support are constant
- The experience remains positive and empowering
We tailor the pace to the group, making sure every child feels safe, supported, and proud of their achievement.
Safety First
All hikes are led by professional mountain guides, ensuring:
- Full risk assessments
- Route planning and navigation
- Emergency support and first aid
- A safe and enjoyable experience for all ages
Who Can Join?
- Primary and secondary schools
- PTA-organised groups
- Parents and guardians (required for child participation)
- Staff and volunteers
