Borneo trek: 22 May 2009 - 2 June 2009
Help us raise much needed funds for deafblind children and adults in your local community by participating in this tropical challenge of a lifetime, as we explore one of the most stunning countries on the globe – Borneo. This multi-activity challenge is an amazing adventure taking you through lush rainforests, high mountain summits, fast flowing rivers and tropical jungles. Our challenge starts with trekking Mount Kinabalu – the highest mountain in South East Asia. We then cycle through the Crocker Range Mountains to Tenom, taking in all the abundant animal wildlife en-route. We finish our ultimate charity challenge with a white water raft down the awesome Padas River.
