    Story

    Hello, In the summer of 2019 I will be spending 3 weeks in Thailand and Laos on an expedition for World Challenge. This will involve a 4-day jungle survival trek in Chiang-Dao and a week’s community project in the Seuang River valley in Laos; this area is home to some of the poorest villages in Laos and we will be working alongside the locals in an education project to better the lives of children here.

    As a team we will have to learn how to navigate through an unfamiliar environment and organise our own travel and accommodation. We will have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local way of life and become familiarised with their amazing culture and historic traditions.

    This is the opportunity of a life time and I have been working and saving hard over the last year as we each have to raise the funding for our place on the trip. However, as we become closer to the departure date, I will be pushing myself to raise more money by completing a triple challenge in Scotland. I will be climbing Bennachie (the highest peak in Aberdeenshire), walking 13 miles along the Spey-side Way (one mile for each of the hours it takes to fly to Thailand) and completing a coastal and cliff walk to Findalter castle.

    I would be so grateful if you would be able to sponsor my triple challenge and help to send me on my way!

    Thank you for helping me, Emily xx

      A closer insight to my world challenge trip - it will involve me taking part in a community project, volunteering in villages to help improve sanitation in schools, making houses more habitable, putting water piping into communities, visiting elephant nature park to help care for elephants previously abused for the tourist industry and much more. Thank you for all your help and support. Emily x

      On 10th April, I completed the last of my challenges by walking 13 miles representing the 13 hour flight I will be going on to Thailand. It was a really beautiful walk along the famous Speyside Way but 13 miles was a bit of a killer especially the day after Bennachie! I really hope these challenges will help to prepare me for the expedition and I would be really grateful for your support.

      On 9th April, I completed the second of my challenges by climbing up the highest peak in Aberdeenshire, Bennachie. We picked the right day for it as you can see, the views were stunning and I definitely didn't need my coat! It was a long, hard climb up so good preparation for the expedition.
