Ben has been selected to join a Terra Nova 'Big Expedition' through his school in summer 2019. He will be raising the money for the trip through a series of sponsored events and paid work. The journey will take him into Incredible India and the mighty Himalaya giving him the chance to see amazing scenery, explore the area with some sensational trekking and give him the opportunity to climb a 6000m peak in Ladakh named Mentok Kangri. This is a beautiful peak on a long ridge running south of the Korzok village to the shore of the Tsomoriri Lake. Mentok in Ladakhi language means flowers and in the summer months, the Korzok Valley blooms with wild medicinal flowers giving the name of its peak. After his trek they will return to the hustle of Delhi with an opportunity to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra.

Ben's first sponsored event is Brutal Bordon, a 5km mud run across hills and bogs on 23rd June.
