Tri-Adventure
The Uganda Tri-Adventure expedition is not for the faint hearted covering almost 300km over seven days between the 11 - 21 August 2012. Each day the route offers something different and we are greeted with a smile and a helping hand throughout the journey.

DIARY OF THE CHINA CHALLENGE:
9th October:
"All is well in China, the group arrived safe and sound and are getting ready for an evening of Karaoke before starting the trek tomorrow. It is a bit chilly but all is good."
11th October:
"All is going very well. Day 2 of trekking, people were challenged with ups and downs but finished for day and everyone sat around talking about the day and having a drink. It has warmed up during the day 20 - 22 but still getting cold at night."
12th October
''Spent the day on the Wall. The view from Tower 12 would take your breath away and the Wall in the distance for as far as the eye can see... Incredible!!!!!!!..... highlight of the trip so far for many people but half the Trek still in front of us''
13th October
''Another challenging day in its own right. We descend over 400 metres along a rock bank as the mist and light rain move in... fantastic views above and below. Great sense of achievement for those challenged by heights and morale and spirits soar higher thanks to a campfire sing-a-long''.
16th October:
"The group has completed the China Challenge and everyone is safe. Tears, hugs and embraces as the finish line means an end to a wonderful adventure. Personal goals and aims have been achieved and now we are heading off to Beijing to celebrate, haggle in the markets and buy souvenirs to forever remind us of the challenge of a lifetime''.... Roll on Nepal and Kenya.
