Great Wall of China Trek 2027
From 14-22 October 2027, step up to an unforgettable challenge and join us as we conquer the Great Wall of China. Push your limits, trek through ancient history, and make a real difference for people with life-limiting illnesses across South Devon.
Over five trekking days, you’ll cover around 35km of the iconic Great Wall, journeying through beautiful valleys and across remote mountain ridges, passing ancient watchtowers and historic battlements along one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
A demanding but achievable challenge, designed to stretch and reward you in equal measure. With full support throughout, you’ll be part of a team accomplishing something truly exceptional together.
Trek the Sahara for Rowcroft
Join us on this long-weekend trek (10 – 15 March 2027) for charity, as we experience the beauty of one of the most breathtaking and largest deserts in the world – The Sahara!
Our charity challenge is to trek for four days through this ever-changing landscape and to climb to the top of the massive Chegaga Dunes, where we will witness the desert sun-rise. The days will be hot and the trekking will be tough, but Team Rowcroft will support each other to conquer this mammoth desert! Vistas as far as the eye can see combined with the pleasure of having the volcanic Anti-Atlas Mountains as our backdrop – need we say more!
With traditional Berbers as our guides we’ll experience the delights of Morocco first hand, in addition to being mesmerised by the remoteness and solitude that the Sahara brings. If you want to take part in one of the most fantastic charity events but have limited time to take away from the UK, this most unique trek challenge is for you.
So join us as we conquer the Sahara!
