the challenge

Eight brave Deaf warriors have agreed to embark upon a monumental challenge! They will hike the ENTIRE length of Hadrian's Wall. These crazy thrill seekers are: Laura Klasupa, Nina Chavda, Gareth Gunn, Dave Ingham, Jonny Nelson, Jessica Nelson and Stephen Dering.

They will walk the full length of this ancient landmark, from the West coast to the East coast, from the Irish Sea to the North Sea! 

That is an average of…. 17 MILES A DAY FOR 5 DAYS!

DONATE NOW

They will take on this spectacular challenge between 5th and 9th July. This event will require several weeks of intense training and really push them to their limits and out of their comfort zone. Their aim is to raise £2,500 for Remark! Community, who have continued to support the London Deaf Community throughout the pandemic. Please donate anything you can to support them reach their target.  

We are with you every step of the way!  You are TRULY REMARKABLE!

THE HIKERS

Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail is an 84-mile (135 km) pathway passing through a diverse landscape where magnificent moorland gives way to rolling fields and there are dozens of sights to behold.

A World Heritage Site since 1987, Hadrian’s Wall is an astounding feat of engineering. It’s the best known and the best preserved frontier of the Roman Empire. When Hadrian’s men set out to construct it they were faced with a relentlessly challenging and variable landscape to conquer. Not the fierce torrents of fast rivers, the hard rock of the Whin Sill, nor mile upon mile of rolling hills would defeat them. The Wall is Britain’s most impressive and most important Roman monument. Together with the Antonine Wall and the Upper German Raetian Limes, it forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site ‘Frontiers of the Roman Empire.’
