SOUTH DOWNS WAY 100 mile hike Sat 1st- Monday 3rd July 2023
This weekend sees 6 of our Viking members taking on a 3 day hike of the South Downs Way . 100 miles in total, 33-34 miles per day, around 70,000 steps per day, sleeping out under the stars with sleeping bags only....it will be an adventure to remember!
Starting from Winchester ( the base of the first full Viking invasion in 1015) and ending in Eastbourne ....this hike is going to include some physical challenges and beautiful natural scenery .
Kayak across the channel
3 of our Viking tribe have committed to doing the full crossing of the English Channel in a sea kayak landing on the shores of France!
Depending on weather this will be happening on either 6th, 7th, 8th 11th or 12th September 2023
The Fan Dance - Preparation hike
The Fan dance is our main group challenge in Januray '24. But not ALL of the Vikings can make that date and so we are also doing a Fan Dance preparation hike in our locality of the South Downs. A 15 mile trek, with the majority of the Vikings carrying around 45lbs in a bergen in some likely to be winter conditions ..it is not for the faint hearted.
A fitting prequel to te main event on 21st January '24
Date 3rd December 2023
The Fan Dance - SAS selection protocol challenge
The Fan dance is a favourite of the SAS selection process. A 15 mile trek carrying around 45lbs in a bergen in some of the most inhospitable winter terrain with 1200m ascents..it is not for the faint hearted.
A physical and even more so mental challenge to complete
Date 21st Januray 2024
Paddle up the river
Date TBC'd
A day of paddling up the River Arun, attempting to paddle all accessible points. Using kayaks, or paddle boards our Viking warriors will have a day of fun and hopefully not too much swimming
