Kay White takes on 300 miles of uninhabited coastline in Namibia

Climbing 1,000ft sand dunes, in one of the most inhospitable places on earth, battling temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celcius, and carrying all their own supplies, Kay is joining a team of 14 as they trek unsupported for 300 miles.

Being unsupported for the trek means they will all be carrying about half their body weight in equipment and supplies, and taking any personal luxuries was banned. They will be desalinating all the water they need, as there is none on the way. This will total over 14,000 litres and take them hours each evening to ensure they have enough to survive in the desert temperatures.

Imagine being surrounded by a frozen landscape 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. You’re on the back of a sled being pulled by Alaskan Huskies and all you can hear is the panting of the dogs and the crunching of the snow under the sled’s runners. As you travel, the landscape changes from the open and windswept plains of ice and snow to scented coniferous forests.

Explore the Splendour of the Wall
The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world and a definite must see. Just like a colossal dragon the Great Wall winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching for around 4,163 miles from the east to the west of China. It has a history of more than 2000 years and is undeniably one of the most appealing man made attractions in the world, due to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.

An ascent using the Rongai Route
Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing volcano in the world. Kibo, the central crater, rests on its two sisters Mawenzi and Shira and at 5896m (19,344ft) dominates the game filled Kenyan plains to the North as well as the fertile lands around Arusha, Tanzania in the South.

Ascending by the Rongai Route gives you the opportunity of climbing a less trodden route, awarding spectaculars view of the plains below as you ascend this dramatic peak, and meeting very few people on the ascent.
