Take on a snowy adventure in the Cairngorms
The allure of the highest, wildest, sub-arctic plateau in Britain is the main attraction and the icing on the cake is a chance to learn night navigation, avalanche awareness, emergency shelters, ice axe and crampon training throughout the trip in this raw wilderness.
The Snowhole Challenge is a three-day trip into the Cairngorms from 14-16 March 2022, where you’ll brave the elements, learn some winter-survival skills, and spend two nights in a snowhole you’ll dig yourself. An amazing opportunity to set yourself an impressive challenge and fundraise for Mind in Bradford by doing something totally unique!
Ask your friends, family and colleagues to support you in taking on this challenge on behalf of Mind in Bradford and help us to ensure we can be there for the people in our community who need us.
