10th-13th September 2026 - Madeira Weekend Challenge
2026-09-10 - 2026-09-13
ABOUT THIS CHALLENGE!!
Experience incredible Madeira on this 4 day trip, exclusive to Summits Up. This event is being delivered for Summits Up by one of our good friends Matt Buck of Running Adventures, who is a qualified mountain leader and experienced ultra distance runner and hiker.
​On this hiking weekend, we will stay in the beautiful Vila Camacho Guest House, just outside the city of Funchal. The guesthouse has beautiful sea views, a sea water swimming pool, sun terrace, restaurant, bar and more.
After arriving in Madeira, we’ll settle into our accommodation and take some time to relax before heading out for a short walk in the local area. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant.
Friday begins with breakfast at the guesthouse before we transfer to Ilha for an unforgettable hiking adventure, the toughest challenge of the weekend. Our journey takes us to the summit of Pico Ruivo, the highest peak in Madeira at 1862m. This hike is the equivalent of climbing Ben Nevis. From the summit, we’ll descend through dramatic landscapes, a route that offers awe-inspiring views and a rewarding sense of accomplishment. This 6 mile (10km) hike involves an elevation gain of +1400m and a descent of -350m, making it a true highlight of the trip.
In the evening, you’ll have the unique option to travel to Funchal city centre to explore the city and cap off the day with dinner at a local restaurant.
On Saturday, after a hearty breakfast, we’ll transfer to Rabacal for the renowned 25 Fontes (Fountains) Hike. This picturesque 8.5 mile (14km) trek winds through lush forests, past cascading waterfalls, and along serene levadas, with an elevation change of approximately +170m | -500m, we finish this hike with an awesome tunnel in complete darkness. After a fulfilling day on the trails, we’ll return to the Vila Camacho Guest House to relax and unwind. In the evening, we’ll come together for dinner at a local restaurant, savoring the culinary delights of the island.
IMPORTANT: This weekend includes rugged terrain, lots of elevation and takes place in an unforgiving environment, we want everyone to be safe. Therefore, to join this weekend , we recommend that you have completed at least a hilly 10 mile hike within 6 weeks of the event, you don't need to be a hiking expert, but you must have a very good level of fitness and be able to walk for prolonged periods of time.

18th April 2026 - Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge
2026-04-18 | Yorkshire Dales National Park Car Park Horton-in-Ribblesdale, Pennine Wy, Settle BD24 0HG, Pennine Wy, Settle, BD24 0HG, United Kingdom
This is our big fundraising challenge for Spring 2026.
Our charity exists because people step up and take on challenges that push them physically and mentally, and in doing so, help others when they need it most. Every challenge completed and every pound raised directly supports people who cannot afford to wait.
We are currently funding individuals to receive six fully funded therapy sessions at a point of crisis, where waiting any longer on NHS waiting lists is not an option. These sessions provide immediate, professional support at a critical time, when delays can have serious consequences.
For this challenge, we are taking on the Yorkshire Three Peaks: Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres), usually completed in this order and within 12 hours. These iconic hills form part of the Pennine range in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, creating a demanding and rewarding endurance challenge.
To support you along the way, we will help set up your JustGiving fundraising page, making it easy to share your challenge and get your fundraising started.
By signing up and fundraising, you are turning physical effort into real, immediate impact — helping us fund urgent support exactly when it’s needed most.
📍 LogisticsStart / Finish: Yorkshire Dales National Car Park - Horton in Ribbleside (Pennine Way BD24 0HG)Meet Time: 7.00amGrade: HardDistance: 39.6 km (25 Miles)Total Ascent: 5,360 ft / 1,634 mEstimated Duration: Approx. 10-12 hours (Groups will be split into 3 or 4 depending on expected pace)
🛏️ Accommodation Some of the team will arrive on Friday 17th April evening, accommodation is to be booked at your own cost. Most people will stay over the evening of the 18th April also. All food and drinks will be at your own cost and responsibility.Start time will be 7am on the morning of the 18th April 2026.There will be a half way checkpoint with water provided and snacks available.
🥾 Route OverviewThe Yorkshire Three Peaks is a serious mountain challenge, linking Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough in one demanding circuit. Although commonly attempted within a 12-hour cutoff, steep ascents, rocky ground and cumulative fatigue make this a tough test of endurance and resilience.
Starting and finishing in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, the route opens with a relentless climb up Pen-y-Ghent, including exposed rocky steps near the summit. After a sharp descent, the trail rolls on to Ribblehead before the long, steady grind up Whernside and a punishing descent into Chapel-le-Dale. The final ascent of Ingleborough is rugged and unforgiving, with tired legs tested once more before the long descent back to the start.
This challenge demands strong fitness, careful pacing and full mountain kit. Navigation skills are essential, mobile signal is limited, and weather conditions can change rapidly. Expect a long, committing day where preparation, decision-making and mental strength are just as important as physical ability.
👉 All Trails Route Here
👣 Who This Hike Is ForThis challenge is for experienced walkers and hikers who are comfortable with:

Long-distance mountain days with significant ascent and descent
Steep, rocky and uneven terrain, including short scrambling sections
Managing fatigue, pacing and fuelling over many hours

It suits those looking to test endurance and mental resilience, whether as a personal challenge, a stepping stone to longer mountain routes, or preparation for ultra-distance hikes and events.
