Exclusive Husky Dog Sledding Challenge
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime challenge – sledding over kilometres of pristine snow with your team of huskies, and the chance of falling asleep under the Northern Lights. You will be provided with a sled and team of 4 huskies and will be making your way through the wilds of the Arctic Circle. Fitness and teamwork between yourself and your dogs will be needed: you will have to dismount your sled and help your dogs push it up steep inclines, and may find yourself travelling in extreme conditions – with snow blizzards and low visibility requiring skill and concentration to steer the dogs and keep with the group. You will also be looking after your team of dogs – feeding and watering them every day.
This trip will cost €5500/£4750 and all profits will go towards Oxfam Ireland 's life-changing work in the developing world. For more information, contact Grace O'Neill at grace.oneill@oxfamireland.org or tel: +44 28 9089 5949.
Be part of an exclusive team of 12 intrepid and like-minded individuals who will be challenged to sled over 200 kilometres across the breathtaking Arctic wilderness of Norway . Your endurance will be tested: managing your own team of 4-6 husky dogs; dealing with temperatures as low as -30°C, and crossing open planes of snow and forested areas with your team.
This is the challenge for those wanting to combine a thirst for adventure with an unmissable opportunity to journey through the breathtaking beauty of the Arctic landscape. Frozen lakes and silent forests await you in this pure white wilderness, and if you're lucky, the magical Northern Lights hanging in the sky.
Join us on the once-in-a-lifetime magical journey, and help us raise funds for Oxfam Ireland 's life-changing work overseas.
